We have loved the name Ava for years. My sister has a daughter Aoife (pronounced E-fa). Is it too similar to have cousins called Ava and Aoife?

My only concern would be that Ava is the #5 most popular name right now. That being said my sister was named jenny when that was the most popular name and she was never in class with any other Jenny's!

I don't think so, we had several that were very similar in my family.

I love Ava - think it is beautiful! I don't think they are too similar at all.

I think it's fine. They're cousins not siblings.

I love the name Ava but it is way too popular for me. My daughter has an Ava in her preschool class and two in her library group.

Thanks for your feedback! We don't mind a popular name. It's about number 12 where we live as well. We might consider other names but I'm feeling a lot better about the choice.

I think it's okay- my youngest is Nora and we have a niece who we see regularly named Dora. We also have a lot of repeating middle names (Nicholas James and Andrew James, Eleanor Rose and Hope Rose...our boy name this time around is Henry Neal and I have a nephew William Henry). I think anything goes with cousins!

I love it! I don't think there's a problem at all!

I say go for it

I love the name Ava! I was originally in love with *Ava Rose* if ours is a girl... But with the last initial *F* I'm not a fan of the ARF acronym... Is that getting too picky?

I have a friend with kids Eva and Evan, they are so similar but it totally works for them! I honestly think they are different enough that it's ok at family functions!
