the name Avia. It's in the Bible. I think it's a really beautiful name -- but even though the name is in the Bible, do you think people will feel the name is a trendier take on the already trendy Ava?

Ooh, I like it. Very pretty.

Is it pronounced ah-VEE-ah? Or AY-vee-ah?

I believe it's AY-vee-ah. That's how I've been pronouncing it anyway. Can anyone tell me if I'm wrong or right?

I looked it up on behindthename.com and the pronounciation of Avia wasn't there but listed it as a variant of Abijah which is pronounced a-BIE-jh. So based on that I would guess that Avia is pronounced a-VIE-uh. I think it is beautiful!

I think Avia is pretty, but it's also a brand name of athletic shoes. I don't know if it would bother you or not, but I thought it best to point it out.

Oh, I'm sorry if I ruined it! It really is a pretty name, but the connection would be too much for me. Have you thought about Averil, Eliana, Ivy, Avalon, Isla, or Ayla? They all have the same sweet tone as Avia, and are fairly uncommon.

You might consider Aviya which is another valid spelling of the name and might remind you less of the shoes :)
