Ava

Madison, but I know four of them already so I wouldn't even consider it for my child.

Riley!

Ava

None of the above. ?Trendy, trendier, and trendiest. ?Blech.

They are all too popular for my style, but my favorite is Ava! It was on my long list since it's so pretty! I like really feminine names, the other two seem less girlie to me.

Ava

Madison, IMO, is obnoxious. Riley means to?agitate (to rile something up). So, I like Ava the best.?

Ava. Even though it's popular now I think it is a classic name, whereas the others are more trendy.

AVA- nice and girly

Madison= 'son of Maude", too popular

Riley- too unisex for me

Ava

Exactly...Ava has been around for many many years, it is just more popular now. The other 2 are trendy.

They are all NMS. I guess Ava since it's the least trendy.?

I agree that Madison is obnoxious. I think Riley is too. I like Eva spelled like that--my temptation with "Ava" is to say it like ah-va, not ay-va. In any case, they're all super trendy, which is nms.

Ava

Ava

aubie96 · August 2009

all way too popular for me.

Guess if I had to pick which I like though it would be Ava.

Ava is the only one of those three that is tolerable to me. Riley and Madison are way too trendy, and I think they'll sound dated in a couple years.

I like Ava the most. Even if it's trendy, I still like Madison. Depending on your state, only a few percent of people name their daughters that. Don't just look at ranking, look at percentage - that's how many people are using the name.

Sorry, but Riley always makes me think of a dogs name. I've known a couple of dogs with that name... it almost sounds like a whiney bark.

epphd · August 2009

I am so, so tired of all of them. Honestly, I can't choose one - there are so many other names out there - does it have to be one of these three?

This. If I had to pick it would be Riley.

michnchris · August 2009

Ava is the best one, I think.

Madison is my second choice and Riley last.

karebear812 · August 2009

If I HAD to pick out of these three, Ava, but honestly, I don't care for any of them.

Ditto. I've actually loved the name Ava since I was 9 or 10 but we won't be using it because of its popularity, unfortunately (although I guess we won't know for sure until we are actually naming a baby!). I still love it, though.
