I'm naming my baby Ava and she's due in about 6 weeks. I really liked the idea that I'd never met an Ava before but I just recently discovered that Ava was on the top 10 for 2005 and I'm a bit dissapointed... does anyone think this name might become a trend anytime soon??? ok thanks!

I think it's already a trend. I know two under the age of two personally, and I see that it is very popular on various name boards.
It's a gorgeous name though.

I know 4 little Avas under 1, that is more and any other name except for Emma. Ava is a beautiful name, however it is skyrocketing in popularity and is a very hot name also for celebrity babies.

I think its already a trend, so many celebs have named their daughters this, but also I used to work at a preschool, so I have noticed all the big trends. Ava was becoming a BIG one right before I left after having my son. But if that doesn't bother you, or if it is not as popular in your area, go for it. If you love the name that is all that really matters.

It is a beautiful name but in our area it is already very trendy. I personally know of three that were born in the last year.

Ava was on our list a while back. We took it off because I knew of six personally that were born last year alone. If popularity isn't an issue for you I would still use it.

Definitely VERY trendy already. I know 3-4 personally plus at least three people who are currently pregnant/TTC and planning to use it. Not to mention the fact that it's THE name for hollywood celeb's children right now. It's a lovely name, but if you are looking for a name that isn't popular, this is definitely not the name for you. Sorry.

Ava is already a trend...a huge one! It is the name with the strongest jump in popularity last year. It is a monumentally popular name with nowhere to go but UP!

Unfortunately I think Ava is a bit too trendy now. I also loved this name once upon a time but it has just gotten too popular and isn't unique anymore. I hate it when that happens.

I agree, it is VERY popular...

maybe, you could find a name with a similar sound? Like Anna or Eve though I believe Eve is also becoming popular.

Good luck...
