Are there any long names you can think of that could be nicknamed Ava? I suddenly like this name. And, of course, I look and it's number 5 on the SS list! Every girl name I like seems to be incredibly popular.
I tried "names containing ava" and "eva" on babynamewizard and didn't get anything, really. It did pull up Savannah which we also have on our list, but b/c the sound of the "ava" is different I don't know that it makes sense to name the baby Savannah but use Ava.
I like having a longer option if there is one, even if we always use the NN. DD is Katherine, and goes by Katie.
