I prefer Azalea. It simply gorgeous. I also don't think Ava would be too much of a stretch as a nn for Avalon.

I've heard both used as names before, actually. I'd much rather see Azalea, which is pretty in an old-fashioned way (and I love flower names). But Avalon seems "modern" and trendy somehow. :-/

Avalon

I really like Avalon. I don't think I would ever use it as a first name, but maybe for a middle name.
Azalea is okay, but not my style.

I think Ava is a great nn for Avalon.

Hard decision

I love them both! I think I would choose Azalea, because of the nn Lea.
I think Ava could work a nn for Avalon.

I prefer Avalon. And yes, I think Ava is a very nice nn and works fine with Avalon :-)

I far prefer Azalea; Avalon just doesn't sound enough like a real name to me, but more like a place name. Ava could probably work as a nn for Avalon; I've heard some NNs that are a lot more out there and tenously connected than that.

Yes, I think Ava could be a nn for Avalon, but I prefer Azalea over both.

I like Azalea but Avalon is one of my favorites, so I'll go with that. I think Ava is a fine nickname for Avalon and if an Avalon is surrounded by too many Avas, she has her full name to fall back on. :)

I know you weren't asking, but I think Lea would be a nice nn for an Azalea. :)

I prefer Avalon. I think Ava would be a fine nn for it, though kind of a shame to use. Avalon is a lot more special than the overused Ava.

I rather dislike both, I have to say...but I definitely dislike Avalon a great deal more than Azalea, so Azalea it is.

Yeah, Ava works as a nn, but there're enough Avas already.
