I really love both Ava and Lindsay, although Lauren isn't my favourite. I think Lindsay sounds better with your last name, and with Lindsay you wouldn't have 2 daughter's beginning with A, which sounds a little rhymey. My vote goes for Lindsay.

I am kind of tired of Lauren, so that does not get my vote. Ava is great but I think very popular, so if that bothers you, than stay away from it. Lindsay gets my vote for sure. I think its a really cute name!

Oh wow, I love all three of those names! I think today I am liking Ava the best. You could always use one of the others as a mn...maybe.

Hmm, I think for me, it depends on what nickname (if any) that you use for Alexandra. If she goes by Alex or Alexandra most of the time, then I think Lindsey Spina sounds great. If she goes by Lexie, then Lindsey and Lexie might be too similar, so I'd go with Lauren.

Ava is a great name, but I think Ava Spina sounds a little too rhymey. It's not bad, but Lindsey and Lauren are nicer options, IMO.

Good luck making a decision!

Well, I've said it before that I really like the name Ava but it doesn't flow too well w/ your ln. My vote would be for Lindsay.

Hi there,

All three are lovely names and are actually some of my personal favourites! :)

However...I feel that Lindsay is the best of the three, as I think it flows the best with your lastname, is great with Alexandra and is still "unique" and underused. I have known 4 Lindsay's (3 spelt Lindsay - one of which is boy in his twenties - and a Linsey). I have known countless Lauren's though. And I've yet to meet an Ava! ;)

How about Lindsay Ava Spina? (LAS???)

Good Luck!

I love the name Lindsay-it's on our list of favorites! Lauren and Ava are beautiful too, but Lindsay is my favorite of the bunch. :) It sounds good with your last name too.

Hi there - We took our time to find the right name and wanted something different but not strange. We came up with Avelyn - pronounced with a soft "a" like apple. We call her Avi for short. So if you weren't sure about Ava, Avelyn might be another option. I like Lyndsey of the choices you originally posted if you go that way. Good luck! Jen

I think Lauren is the best name in terms of blending in style with Alexandra, working with Spina and making you both happy. Ava doesn't work with Spina as well to me...they are too similar in style (never thought I'd say that! But they aren't distinctive enough). Lindsay is my second choice but isn't as sophisticated as Alexandra. GO WITH LAUREN!
