What do you think of the name Ava Raine? I really am iffy on it. i don't know if i like the Raine part. The Ava part is probably definite (unless i can get BF to agree to Annabelle the name i really love).
Please be truthful, i can take it as this is really my BF pick.

Hi Jodie -
I think Ava Raine is ok.

I'm with you ... Ava is beautiful and classic, but Raine looks very trendy next to it. Plus, since Ava is rather popular, pairing it with a trendy mn makes the whole name seem trendy (kind of cheapening it, KWIM?), while pairing it with something more classic or unique -- as long as it's a real name, of course LOL -- keeps it fresh.
Is it the actual word "rain" he likes for some reason, or just the sound of it? There are quite a few names that have a similar sound without the trendy word-name feel:
Renee -- a bit of a filler mn, though, and the endings are quite similar
Rhian -- ree-an; pretty close to "rain," but a name rather than a word

I think Ava Raine is pretty. It's a bit trendy, but could be lovely.
Another idea is Ava Belle (sounds similar to the name you love, but BF gets his pick too). Other ideas: Ava Brooke, Ava Blaine, Ava Danielle.
I was going to suggest Ava Lorraine - that pairs two classic, feminine names, while still giving him "Raine."
