Help! Girl names for baby #3?

I am so excited that #3 is a girl with 2 ds Cole Harvey and Kaden Joel. So far I am set on Ava Irene. Irene is a family name that we are using as a middle name no matter what. I like Cole, Kaden and Ava together but my dh is resisting. He prefers Terra, Marin or Taryn.
What do you think?
Ava, Terra, Marin or Taryn
I am due in June so hopefully we can settle something by then!
Thanks for any opinions,
Melanie
I recently met a two year old girl named Naiya (phonetically just like Maya) and thought that was really pretty. Very original but not too strange if you know what I mean.

My vote goes to Ava. It is being used quite a bit right now though. If that bothers you, then I also think that Naiya is beautiful! Good Luck!

I prefer Ava or Tara (like this spelling best). Either would go great with your boys names. I don't like Marin or Taryn with Irene - both end in the 'n' sound, giving it an awkward flow.

I LOVE the name Ava!!!!! That was my #1 pick for myself but, my DH also is not a big fan of it. We did decide on a name but Ava sounds the best with your DS's names. The other 3 are NMS but Taryn I think would fit the best out of them. It seems like it is always our Dh who make it difficult! ;)(just kidding)

HTH,

I've never been an Ava fan, but even without that in mind, I think Ava and Irene together - Ava Irene is too vowel heavy

I like Taryn Irene the best. even though it might seen a little N-heavy, it goes to the N in different ways.

anything ending in A doesn't flow well into Irene.

Marin flows in just as well, I just don't like it.

good luck

I like Ava, and I agree that Taryn and Marin are a little hard on the 'n' sound with Irene. If you like the Mare sound, how about Merritt/Merit/Merrit? I think Merrit Irene sounds good.
