Ava or Stella?

Annabelle0211 · February 2011

My baby girl is a week past her due date and we STILL have not decided on a name. It is down to Ava and Stella. We really like Ava but the popularity bothers me. We love Stella but it kind of rhymes with our last name so that kind of bothers me too. I have looked into other options but these seem to be the only 2 names we agree on. Middle name will probably be Brooke. Opinions?[Poll]

They're both really pretty, but I like Ava best (despite how popular it is). What about Eva just for a tiny change?

Stella rhyming with your last name is not good. Especially because she'll probably already be getting "Stella ella hola quack quack quack say yes chico chico..."...

I named my daughter Ava, it's a very popular name but I love it!!

That is really tough. They both are very pretty. The popularity would bother me over it kinda rhyming with my last name, I think. I also really like Stella Brooke.

Me either. I think the rhyming thing would bug me more then the popularity, plus I like Ava better.

Stella! There will be ten or twelve Avas in your little girl's class. Stella is a beautiful name and a one-of-a-kind name for your one-of-a-kind girl.

I like Stella better but if it rhymes with your last name I would go with Ava or as others suggested switch it up to Eva.

I would definitely go with Ava if Stella rhymes with your last name. I love the name Ava, but the popularity would probably bother me also. Like the others suggested, how about Eva?
