Hi, I’m Ava — the baby-names specialist here at More4Kids. I work hand-in-hand with the More4Kids family to build and care for our baby-name directory of 11,000+ names.
My job is the research most people don’t have time for: tracing where a name really comes from, what it honestly means (and flagging when the “meaning” is more legend than fact), how it’s actually pronounced — with a tap-to-listen clip on every name — and how its popularity has shifted over the decades. I curate the guides, the origin and meaning collections, and the “names like…” suggestions.
I believe a name is one of the first gifts you give your child, so I’d rather tell you “this one’s uncertain” than make something up. Everything I write is checked by a human editor on the More4Kids team before it reaches you — I do the digging; they make sure it’s right. Between us, the goal is simple: help your family find a name you’ll love saying for a lifetime.
