My last name rhymes with grace/lace/face... you get the idea. It's is also one syllable. We are having a terrible time coming up with names. We're team green for now, but we may find out later.
I have adored the name Ava for years and years, and I think it sounds great with our last name. However, I must admit that it's recent popularity is a bit of a turn off. I don't mind names that are somewhat common, but I'd prefer to stay out of the top 10 or 20 if possible. It's not necessarily a deal breaker though so we may end up with Ava in the end. As for a boy, we have absolutely no idea.
I would love suggestions!!

If you like Ava, how do you feel about Eva?
Ava/Eva paired with a multiple syllable middle name would sound great with your short lat name.
Same theory for boys names in my opinion. However, I am not great at coming up with a list to suggest.
I like Eva as well, but my brother actually just named his daughter Eva. He knows how much I like Ava so he "saved" that for me and went with Eva. Not a big difference, but I won't change my name preferences just because he went with Eva. We live far apart so our daughters won't really know each other. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Or Isla?

Thank you! I really like Elliot. My husband doesn't think it's a good name for an athlete (this is how he picks names), but I may continue to push it since I disagree. I also love Lilah.
