What are you naming your baby?

Re: What are you naming your baby?
Obviously, you can do whatever you want but unless you are living in Germany, I will have to agree with the others because your daughter will have to correct everyone on how to pronounce her name over and over again. In the US, no one pronounces it Ava Longoria.
We are German too and the father of a close family friend was called Jan (pronounced yahn) and their daughter was Marianne (prounounced MAR-ee-AN-a). Obviously, everyone thought he was a she and called him Jan and she always got called Mary-Anne in school, which she hated. After a lot of frustration, both changed the legal spellings of their names to John and Mariana. Just my two cents, but I understand your desire you incorporate your heritage.
We have a few names for a boy or a girl but we won't decide on a name until we see the baby.
Elizabeth Josephine, Rebekah Marie, Leah Marie or Leah Rose.
Michael Allen, Isaac Lukas, Alexander Michael.
We like bible names.

No one will ever pronounce it right, but since it would be a middle name, I'm okay with it. We'll just make sure the minister is prepped for her wedding.
Girl first name for sure: Katherine, nn Kate
Girl middle name options: Leah, Juliette, Natalie
Boy first name for sure: William, nn Will
Boy middle name options: David, Reid, Pierce
