[Opinions] Ava
What do you think of Ava for a girl?
Cute and charming or overdone and (celebrity) trendy?
I used to like it, not a lot, but I liked it. Then it was suddenly everywhere and I got so bored of it. The exact same thing happened with Ella. However I'm really starting to like Ella and Ava again, though I wouldn't use them at the moment. I just really like the way Ava looks. The V just looks so perfect in between the As especially spelled with capital letters as in AVA (does this make any sense? :P).
How many little Avas do you know? Do you see a tiny chance of it losing popularity anytime soon?
I also love Ada. Which is best Ada or Adelaida nn Ada (I love both Ada and Adelaida and this way I can use both of them)?
Ada or Ava?

It's very popular, but I still think it's lovely.

I like it. I "discovered" it way back when before it was popular because of Ava Gardner, so I thought it had a cool, sophisticated, silver-screen sort of feel. Despite the trendiness in recent times, I still feel that way about it. I'd consider using it if it weren't so dang popular!
I don't think I actually know any baby Avas personally, but I've seen several in local BAs.
I love Ada too! It has such a wonderful Southern Belle feel to it. I like it on its own, but it could definitely work as a nn for Adelaida or Adelaide.
It's so hard to choose between them... I might go with Ada over Ava. And I'd pick Ava and Ada over Aviva any day.

I love Ava, but it is still too popular for me to take the name seriously. It slipped from #4 in 2007 to #6 in 2008 though, so it might slowly decline in popularity.
I personally don't know any Avas.

It's more than celeb trendy at this points; it's been blazing up the charts with commonfolk for quite some time now.
I'm not a fan of Ava myself, but if you want to use it, I don't see a logical reason why you shouldn't. Just because it's popular doesn't mean you loose any namenerd cred (in my opinion at least). As long as you don't pair it with Elizabeth, Grace, or Emily. ;)

ETA, because I didn't answer the original post.
I don't like Ava, very celeb-trendy. I don't like Aviva either, it's like you are trying to dress Ava up and make her not seem trendy.
Adelaida NN Ada is a nice option though.

Very true.
You cannot deny the sudden upswing of the name in recent years.

Ava is nice enough. I'm sure I would like it more if it weren't so popular. If it weren't popular I would probably say that it's simple and elegant. I really like Ava as a nickname in Avaline and Avalon. Ella is pretty too, though I prefer Ela. Ada is really nice and for me has that "cool oldfashioned" feeling. I prefer Ada to Adelaida, but I think Ada makes a great nickname for it.
Can I choose both? It really depends on what you're going for.
Aviva nn Ava? Ok.... Ava
Ada
