                            Avianna is the most popular "avian" name, sitting in the US Top 500 names. But the French-esque version Avianne is significantly less so: it was given to 7 girls in 2021, and fewer than 5 in 2022, meaning it didn't even make it onto the extended charts. Although it's equally pretty and elegant, parents at the moment tend to prefer names ending in "ana" or "anna" to "anne": see also Julianna versus Julianne, Diana versus Diane, and many more.
