I really like this name. It sounds prettier than the common 'Eva'. So, I think I would name my daughter this.

I always think of Ava Braun, Hitler's girlfriend (but the name doesn't have a negative connotation for me).

The name of Hitler's lover was not Ava, but Eva.

Actually, the German pronunciation of Ava is AH-vah, not AH-fah. [noted -ed]

I personally love this name! :) does anyone know any good ways it could be made longer or added on to? I love long names and I thought maybe I could alter this a bit. Any suggestions?

Frau Ava, also known as Ava of Melk, Ava of Göttweig and the Poet Ava (1060 - 1127), was the first named female writer in any genre in the German language.

knd_leigh713,
The name 'Aviva' is similar to Ava and is longer. :)

I think I saw it on a projected popularity list by the guys who wrote Freakonomics. They predicted it would become popular with well-educated parents in future decades.
