Originally I thought yuck old lady but after a second I thought about the actual name and thought hold on I actually don't mind it and it is definitely growing on me!

I think you have some great reasons for picking the name and it is very different besides Ava is an "old lady name" and Isabelle there are heaps of them coming back in

Can't think of another way of spelling it but there r heaps of ladies on here that come up with amazing new ways to spell things!

I also think that sometimes ppl don't like names but then they meet someone with that name and then that dictates their thoughs on the name and they don't think the same anymore.

Like Ingrid I used to think of a VERY STERN middle aged woman and then when I was about 15 I worked with a girl a few yrs old who was named Ingrid and now I think of her personality when i think of the name.

I think just because its uncommon it will take people a 2nd and then they will think its really beautiful.
