Okay, I never, ever thought we would see DD's name

Thanks to Stella_blu who linked me below re: lights.  As I was scrolling down, I saw the pic of Santa with the baby, and the baby's name is Aven.  That is totally my DD's name, and we never, ever thought we would see another one!  It wasn't in the top 1000 names for like the past 10 years or something.  I am totally floored.  Anyone know this family?  I would love to meet them!!  I wonder how they found the name.  How funny there is another Aven out there!  Here is the linky again:

Scroll down to see the Santa and baby Aven. (just to be clear, that is not my Aven, mine is much bigger now....)

Re: Okay, I never, ever thought we would see DD's name

  • I've met a couple of people with my same legal name which is very unusual.  It's crazy!
  • DD goes to daycare with an Aven.  I like the name.

  • That is a really unique name! How do you pronounce it? What is the derivation?

  • We pronounce it A-ven (long A.)  Here is from babynames.com:

    The meaning of the name Aven is Fair Radiance

    The origin of the name Aven is Irish

     

    We were looking for a unique name, and DH wanted an Irish name, so my mom found a short list and one of those names was Aven.  Her middle name is Jayne.  Aven is also a flower (a mountain Aven) it looks like this:

    I have a mountain aven tattoo on my ankle.  It is also a place in France and I plan on taking Ms. Thing there when she is older!  I am totally shocked there is another one and am dying to know how they came up with the name!

    I think it is so cool that there is another Aven in N. CO!  I wonder how they found the name!

  • I like the name! (that says a lot, really it does)
  • That isn't a common name, but I have a 2nd cousin (much older around 60) with the name Aven and her granddaughter is also named Aven now (and just born).  Only they spell it the same, but pronounce it with a short A instead of long A.

    Are you united with the CCOKCs?
