Thanks everyone, i know you can try to stop people shortening but i guess it still happens. Such a shame because i LOVE the name but really wouldnt want it shortened, looks like we might stick with Ava. Lol Krisp i know what you mean about lengthening. When i was preg with Blake we thought no one could shorten that but now he gets Blakey - which i HATE and as much as you try to stop it, you cant all the time. Im sure even Ava would get some kind of nn but what can you do !! hehe

Thanks again everyone
