To tell you the truth Ava is my [current] favorite name. Eva is well, okay.

Answer 20

Both names are sweet, but Ava is SO much more common. I'd go with Eva for a bit of originality  

Answer 21

I love both, but I would say go with Eva  because Ava (apparently) is predicted to become the most popular name by 2012- which probably means your daughter would have a class full of Ava's :P

Good luck, and I hope you have a beautiful daughter :)

Ava is very common #3 in 2007 I think.

Eva is less common, and I like it better also.

Both are very nice names but I'd choose Eva because it's less common, sounds so good and it's one of my favorite names :)

Definitely go with Ava, much more feminine and pretty! Elegant and classy. Both work for all ages. Ava is much, much less common.

Answer 26

I like them both. But I prefer Eva, Ava is overly popular right now.  

Answer 27

Eva it is less common but still pretty,i have an Aunt Eva she is 93 years old.she has always been a lady.

Eva Mae is her actual name.i like it.just my opinion they are both nice as long as they are spelled correctly!

Answer 28

Ava , It's not very common

My sister had her baby yesterday

She named her Ava Marie

I think its a beautiful name :) !!

Answer 29

They are both very sweet names. I personally prefer Eva only because i know a few people who have recently called their daughters Ava.

I'd pronounce Eva like EE VA.

And as a nick name when they are younger they could be called Evie!

Good Luck
