So we are trying to name our little girl that will be here in just a few weeks and we are having great difficulty so I would love your ideas! In a nutshell, we are looking for something fairly simple that goes well with Ava, which is my other daughter's name.
Thanks so much!!

A friend has a little Ayla. (pronounced Eye-la). I think that might be the heroine from Clan of the Cave Bear, but I never read those (and doubt anyone will remember them in 20 years.)

I love the name Amalia. (pronounced A-MAHL-ya). So feminine, and a beautiful alternative to Emily, which has become so popular. I also like Aliya, Elena, Ella, Hannah. We know a baby Anastasia (pronounced with a short a, an-a-STAH-shia).

Glancing through my kid's school directory, these might interest you:
Amiyah
Aja
Amaya
Adele (OK, it doesn't end with "a" but I think it's retro-adorable)
Syriah (like the NPR correspondent, I think, pronounced ser-EYE-ah)

I dont know if you are using the Ava in her name or it is your daughters name already---I named my daughter Lia Danielle (both family/traditional) names--I have received tons of compliments & I had read in a book that it sounds nice if one name ends in a the second or first should not--(ie Ava Gabrille, Ave Daniella, Ava Rae--I love 3 letter names Ava Zoi/Zoe (means life in Greek) other a names which are nice Gabriella, Gavriella, Olivia is beautiful--just ask me, I am having my ceserean on April 10th & running into some girl name problems, becuse I am trying to do it traditionally---I have gone over every name in the book--I love Nina, my husband didnt like it much---I love Danielle, but my husband says its the middle name of our first daughter(named after her grandfather). I have gone over every name in the book--I like savanna/ah & Samantha too. If you need any other suggestions for manipulating past relatives names a bit I am pretty good at that, please feel free to contact me. I am laboring over a girls name like crazy & watch me have a boy--if I have a boy it is either Dennis/Daniel George after both our dads--see, my problem is I have a little freedom because I am more concerned about the Greek version of the name & I can slightly manipulate the Ennglish name--so if you need any other suggestions, my brain is thinking names every day---I Love Grace, Elizabeth & my husbands grandmothers name is Andriana---which I would do Andria/Andrea & call her Andi/Andee for short--how do you like that one?

Hi A....Congrats on having another baby girl! I am expecting my second son in about 6 weeks.My older son'a name is Everett and we (me) are agonizing over finding another E name that goes nicely with that and our last name so I truly appreciate your situation :) A friend just had a baby girl that she named Ava to go with her older son's name which is Ari and how cute do those sound together?? So, you could go with one of the versions of Ariana or just call her Ari. A recent trend with A names seems to be Avery which is close to Ava-maybe too close-but nice nonetheless. Kind of old school, but these names are making a comeback, is Audrey. One of my favs is Annabelle-kinda kitschy-but cute and think of all the nicknames you'd have if you like nicknames!

Good luck!

answers from Chicago on

I know you have received a MILLION responses - at least 200 is the most I've even seen on this site - but I wanted to share my experience, which I highly recommend.

1st: Rather than looking for a name that sounds good with Ava, you should look for a name that fits with the meaning of the name Ava. Research what Ava means in the culture that you draw from and research names that have meanings that resonate with you that you can add on.

2nd: Don't be in a hurry to name your child before she's born. If you can work it out with the delivery hospital, as I did, plan to name your child within 7 days (or less) of her birth. You can tell that for cultural reasons, you don't name your child for at least 5 days after her birth. That's what I did.

It was fun just calling my son "baby" and trying on names for him. I think it allows for you to name your child based on her personally, affect, birth day, etc. It's really fun and, to me, makes sense to not name someone until you have met them.

I didn't name my son until he was about 5 days old. The name that I chose means "Beautiful Joy Sent by God" and it pulls from three different cultures. I always wanted my son to have a name that makes a statement about who he is in the world and what he means to his parents.

So I wish you the best, but I suggest taking your time with it and have FUN with it. It's an awesome thing to be able to name someone. A name that will be used for them forever.

Blessings!

I like knowing what is the meaning of a name - love the name "Alana" (middle vowel sound like in "pot") Name means "peaceful; attractive" or Alexa, with the name meaning "protector; defender". I'm sure if you go by other sites, the definition may change slightly. Or...throw the name "Olivia" in the mix. I never realized that "Ava" has been one of the top five names in the U.S, for a couple years, in some states it's #1 (so is Olivia).

Ava is such a romantic name, worthy of a strong, romantic middle name. Looking forward to seeing your final pick.
