I am drawn to Ava but I have a sneaky feeling that Ava may be (or become) slightly faddish? Ava feels very similar to Emma for me, but Emma has a somewhat more timeless feel, perhaps due to royal connections. I may be way off base here. I suspect both are very popular; I have met babies Ava (2) and Emma (1) in the past few months...
So that brings me to Eva! Pretty, short, easily spelled. I pronounce it EE-vah, but I understand it can be pronounced "Ava" although I wouldn't try this, personally...
Is Eva somehow prettier, does it offer two nicknames (Eve and Evie) and is it less common or faddish than Ava or am I off in the rhubarb again?
Oh -- and does Katharine kick both their butts to the curb or is Katharine too boring?
Also under consideration, Genevieve Katharine, with the nickname Eve, Evie.
Thanks,
Beth.
