I like it, but spelled Avah instead. Maybe I'll use it in April 07!
oh please don't
your daughter will have a very trendy name then.. how about the name Eva? that's pretty and similar...
no...
my heart was set on this name, but it is top ten on most popular names of the last couple years. all her friends and enemies will share the name...not a thing I would want.
you're smart
because my daughter's name is Ava and she's 7 and i hate that everyone is naming their daughter that now...
Me
Some of you act as if you own the rights to the name. You should be flattered that so many other people like the same name you may have chosen for your daughter 7 years ago. Get over it.
sabrije
