Comment left Aug 26, 2009: "Back in the 90's, Ava was an unheard of name. Now, the name is in the top 10. At least The Ava Trend is not as annoying as the Aidan-Jayden trend." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 13, 2009: "I have a 5 year old named Ava and I still love this name. I have another daughter named Gabrielle. This is also such a beautiful name but I discovered that it is hard for people to spell, pronounce, and then there are the nicknames.... You don't have this problem with Ava. It is easy to spell (same backwards), easy to write and easy to pronounce. As an added bonus, I think AVA looks really cool when you write it in all uppercase letters!!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 09, 2009: "I named my first daughter Zoe Elizabeth and my second daughter Ava Laine, we recieve so many compliments on both the names, but especially on Ava's, as many who know her call her "Ava Laine" because it rolls off the tongue so easily, didn't know this would happen when I picked her name! Ava Laine is a classy, beautiful name and it fits my daughter perfectly and no matter how popular it is I am proud I named her this because she is "The Ava Laine"!!!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 22, 2009: "I named my daughter Ava and I think it is an elegant and classy name and I hope she likes it when she grows up. I live in England and the name is not as popular as it is in Amercia but it wouldn't have bothered me or influenced my decision. The fact it is so popular proves what a beautiful name it is!"

Comment left Jun 14, 2009: "Ava is a pretty name. That is first-choice if my unborn is a girl." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 28, 2009: "I am a mother of two kids and when we picked out our names we wanted something unique for each. Although we thought Jaden an Ava were uncommon, the next thing we knew, they were everywhere. Just our luck..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 16, 2009: "Ava has been one of my favorites since I started thinking about what I will name my children as a teen (in the mid 90's). At that point, Ava was still an uncommon old fashioned name. I must have been psychic, because since then it's popularity has soared, and that aspect of it has put it off my own personal list. All the girls I grew up with were named Jennifer, Amber, and Lindsey and the teachers had to call them Jennifer A, Jennifer B, Jen, and Jenny. Ava will likely follow suit in being one that requires a last initial in class. It will still be a beautiful name, but it will not be a name that precedes or defines them, they will have to carve out their own path because so many other girls will be named this as well."

Comment left May 01, 2009: "I love it :) i think it's really pretty and unique.. but not totally unique so the kids won't be hating their parents later on ;)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 30, 2009: "My little sisters name is Avah, but it is pronounced just like the name Ava. She is only 2, so she doesnt realize the beauty of having such a unique spelling." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 30, 2009: "I love this name! I plan on naming my daughter Ava. I also love the name Eva, but my husband likes Ava instead" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 27, 2009: "Ava is the next Kim...we thought we picked an original name in 2005 but we already know 10 personally and live in a small town....please don't use it or your child will be like mine....she is known as "Ava B." to keep them different. Now I know how my childhood friend "Kim S." felt :-(" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 23, 2009: "I'm not an Ava but I love the name, I didn't realise it was so popular in America (?) I'm british, so it's very uncommon here." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 21, 2009: "One of my baby sisters (they are two years old and twins) is named Avah, which is close to Ava. Its really rare and uncommon, but it quite suits her diva attitude." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 21, 2009: "Like the other posts, a couple of years ago I loved the name Ava but had no idea I was not the only one who liked this elegant yet slightly "cool" name. If I had a girl I would name her Ava Elizabeth. It is now listed in the top 10 girls names and I personally know about 3 friends who have named their daughters Ava!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 15, 2009: "I have always loved this name, and it really annoys me how bloody popular it is! hopefully its popularity will die down soon (probably be replaced by olivia), i dont want this name to become the next emma and just have lots of under 5 Avas in the classes at school!"
