thoughts?

Many syllables (6)
Lots of ava-ava in a row chAVA AVigail

I think each name on its own is beautiful

I would ideally try to keep a name to 4 syllables max, sounds better to me, and I don't think it flows with all the avav

Doesn't sound good to me but that's just my personal opinion

My niece is Chaya Avigail so this name sounds similar....Do you plan to call her by both names? My niece is just called Gayil.

My brain read Chana Avigail, which I like better. I think the V in Chava Avigail are too close and run-on. If it is after someone and you want to use both names, Avigail Chava works much better.
(Both my DDs have 6 syllables, so I have no issue with that)

Are you planning on calling the whole thing? That's a little hard to say.
But if you're only going to use one, or a nickname, go for it, it's beautiful

I think I would only call Chava, but I'm not sure. do you have suggestions for other nicknames?

Both names on their own are beautiful.
I'm not a fan of nicknames, but there are plenty available if you want - Chavi is definitely cute and popular

So either the name is Chava, or Chavagail. That's how it's going to sound when you use it. If she very rarely uses her full name, I wouldn't be concerned, but if you're thinking of using the full name then you have to be comfortable with the name Chavagail. Which is kind of cute in my opinion but it's not for everyone. However, if you call her mainly Avigail, that could be very annoying or even mean.

If you would reverse the names and call her Avigail Chava, you wouldn't have this issue at all even though it's still a mouthful. Many people do go by their second name as their main name, including my daughter.

Tempting to say chavigayil so I think avigail chava goes better.
