Help[Opinions] Re: Aveline
in reply to a message by ADT
I think Aveline is very pretty. I really like it. However, I don't know if I like it enough to use it, mostly because aveline is a word in French (hazelnut). It's not a word I hear every day or anything, but I know some people, namely my grandmother, would think I'm crazy, lol.
As for the name's lack of popularity, where I live at least, names that end in "-ine" are generally nicknames (ex. Angeline or Nicoline), so a few people may feel that it seems incomplete or too "nickname-y".
Pronunciation could also be an issue, but it's not like Ava is fool-proof in that sense either. I do know an Ava who pronounces it ah-vah.
Also, just like Adeline, Aveline can be pronounced two ways: av-uh-LEEN or AV-uh-lien. I greatly prefer av-uh-LEEN.

av-eh-LEEN is one of my favorite A names, second only to Alessandra. :)

Awwwww! I think that's completely adorable. I've always secretly wanted a daughter named Hazel so I can call her Hazelnut. So Hazelnut is kinda a GP. Whatever, it sounds great with my surname.
