Middle name for Ava?

Yes, I know, Ava is popular. DH and I really love it, though, and we want to use it. I'm just stuck on a middle name. Last name starts with an N and ends in 'cross'. Any suggestions are appreciated!

ETA: I know it's a bit Duggar-ish for all three girls' names to start with A. That doesn't bother me either. lol =)

    LOL at anything but Grace. I'm with you on that one! I just added Ava Catherine to the list. I really like it, but I have to present my list to DH first. lol DH vetoed Jane and Elizabeth is my middle name.

    Family names are hard. DH and I both lost our grandmother's this past year and while it would be nice to honor them, we couldn't decide which to honor so opted not to do it at all. We considered Lianna to sort of honor our mothers (Lynn and Diana), but I don't know if I like it. =/

    There's nothing wrong with naming your kids after you. Just my opinion. Ava Elizabeth is very nice. I almost suggested Lynn but think of it more as a "filler" name. But if it's a family name, I'd definitely consider it.

    I would stay away from anything that ends in that -a sound (like Lianna). I think it sounds off. I almost suggested Ava Cecilia but saying it out loud didn't sound right.

    Thanks! I like Ava Elizabeth. I agree with the -a sound ending. That's why I'm not really on board with Lianna. It's just all we've come up with.

    Allyson Brooke and Aubrey Michelle. Michelle was my aunt.. she passed away while I was pregnant with DD2 so we wanted to use her name as a middle name.

    I know a baby named Ava Claire.

     

    I like Ava Claire as well but not sure if it's too "southern" sounding for me... We were debating Ava but not sure it works with our common/short last name.

    Ava Elizabeth

    Ava Frances 

    Ava Josephine

    Ava Louise 

    Ava Reese

    Ava Ryann

    Ava Sophia (double A but I think it flows nicer than Lianna)

    Why not do Ava Leanne? It's sort of similar to you family names but doesn't end in -a.

    This was my first choice, but the more I said it with my last name, the less I liked the double N sound since our last name starts with N. I'm considering Elizabeth.. I like it.

    I, too, like Ava Sophia, but DH isn't on board. =/ Thanks ladies! These are awesome suggestions!
