Too old fashioned?

Hello!! I am new to this. My husband and I are expecting our first girl this DEcember. I think we are going with the name Ava Lorraine. Lorraine is my grandmother's name. I would like a little history to be in the name, but is it too old fashioned? Last name starts with an "r"

I don't think so at all! Lorraine actually balances the uber-popular Ava and gives it a bit of stability, to me. Plus, the link to Grandma is just too precious to pass up on. One of my middle names is my Grandmother's middle name and I gave my daughter her Great Grandmother's first name as a middle! I think Ava Lorraine is gorgeous!

I think it sounds great--especially since there is some meaning behind it.

For a middle name, I don't think it matters that it isn't a popular name at this time.

I really like that name. I think Ava is gaining in popularity, but I like the family name as a middle name. They work well together.

I think those 2 names go very nicely together! Lorraine is a name we haven't seen on this board much if at all recently! A fresh new idea.

It sounds great. Plus how often are you calling someone by their full name? :) Think how often you use your middle name - a family name is a really nice tradition.

That is a beautiful name. It sounds really nice together and has a special meaning for you.
