Opinions on the name Avé?

Like Ave Maria.. ahh-vay.

Makes a nice change to Ava, or just odd?

I don't like it only because of the strong connection to the song. I think it's pretty otherwise, and really like Ava, but I have a hard time separating it.

I like it but I think it would be mispronounced all the time.

I think it's odd, actually. Precisely because of the 'Ave Maria' =)

i think its really pretty. but every time i said it, i would want to break out in song, or at least say maria after it. but i went to catholic school for nine years, so maybe thats just me. other than that, its pretty, but sounds...unfinished.

I kinda like it! Who cares about the connection to the song, it's a pretty song. I'm an atheist, and I don't care about the song connection, so I dunno.

Well, with an accent on the e, I would actually prn it ah-VAY. That is not pretty to me. Ave like the song is ok, but a little weird. I prefer Maria.

odd. because of the song and because people would mispronounce it anyway.

I met a girl this summer named that.
Italian, her sister was Francesca.
It did a good job of puzzling me :P

btw, if you're thinking of the latin word 'ave', as in the song 'ave maria', then it doesn't have any mark on it ;)
and then again, it's a salutation in latin, so technically it would be like naming your kid 'hello' :P

I'd spell it with the accent, but I took French for a lot of years and that's how it would be spelled in French if it were a French name. Which it's not.

I'm not quite sure it's a name at all. It's quite pretty sounding and looking, but I think I'd keep it a guilty pleasure.
