WDYT of Avilina and Avianna/ Aviana?
What do you think of the names Avilina and Avianna/ Aviana? Avila is my mn and my nana's maiden name so I'd love to have a way to honor it.

I like Avilina, reminds me of Avalana which I also like! Aviva could work as well!

Avilina, Avila, etc... PronunciationI should have clarified that just like with Avila I pronounce Avilina and Aviana/ Avianna with the soft A of the German and Spanish pronunciation which is AH, so not the same sound as the English pronunciation of Avis or Ava which is AY.

I like Aviana and Avianca. I think you could even branch out to Avis if you liked it.

Just don't move to Sweden, where avis is a slang word for "jealous"! :)

To me they seem just like trying to be Ava, but more elaborate and unique, but instead come off as overly elaborated and still following the same Ava trend, just 'different,' which is of course also a trend

I love the sound of Avilina, but I am not keen on the spelling. For me, I thin Avelina would be prettier. Still, I think Avilina is both usable and darling. Aviana is preferable over Avianna. I do like it for the bird imagery, but I MUCH prefer the delightfully simple and classy Avila. I would totally just use Avila myself. I also might consider something like Havilah.
