Could be a whole lot worse. Though I don't get the -lie spelling of Lesley for female use ... just one of those American things, I suppose.My family tends to the conservative in naming habits, and my aunt Eva was a one-off. I asked my grandmother once where they'd got it from and she said, well, she was their first child (!) and they'd liked the fact that it didn't have a nickname - both grandparents went by short forms of their given names, and I suppose it got a bit tiresome. At that point my aunt wandered in - we were staying with her - and offered tea. Granny instantly said "Oh yes, thank you, Eve" without a twitch of irony.For whatever reason, I prefer Eve!

Eva is sweet. Leslie I've never liked, but it's better than all the tacky stuff being churned out.

Eva I LOVE, it's a fave of mine. Leslie is not for me though.

tbh, I've never liked Leslie for either boy or girl but Eva is very pretty and this combo works well.

That's really pretty! Somehow those name really suit each other, and I'm not usually a fan of either. Congrats to them.
