    Narrowed down to 4 names - Ava, Ruby, Lydia & Ivy.

    From the list I posted the other day, I have done some thinking and realised that out of my long list the only ones I absolutely love and really keep coming back to are Ava, Ruby, Lydia & Ivy.
    So now I would love your help to choose the best one out of these 4.
    I want a name that isn't too trendy, prefer timeless and classic but don't mind if it's too common. Am trying to avoid giving my daughter a name that she will end up having to pronounce and spell her whole life and mostly just one that I won't get sick of cos I can be pretty indecisive!

    Which do you like best?
    Current Favourites: (Girls): Ava, Ruby & Mia
    Current Favourites: (Boys): Jack/son, Noah, Leighton & Hudson

    I'm from Australia, so when I'm referring to popularity I'm using Aussie lists.

    My favorite would have to be Ava. I see her as classic and elegant but modern, like the actress Ava Gardner.
    However, I do see her as trendy, so my next favorite would have to be Lydia. I love her ties to literature and history.

    Well as the mother of an Ivy it's obviously my top-pick, then Ruby, Lydia and Ava. Ava is a very lovely name but it's really popular in UK, which i know doesn't bother you.

    TBH you have a great list and i think you should keep all four and decide when your little lady arrives xx

    Well, Ava is beautiful and I would pick it, but if you don't want trendy/super popular I think it's getting there. There's a few Ava's and one Aida at my daycare.

    However that might not bother you too much, so I would pick Ava then Lydia.
