Eva /nt/

It's simple and pretty, and I adore Eve Magdalene as a combo. Seriously adore.

Love both, can't choose

I had an aunt called Eva. I asked my grandmother where they'd got it from, since my mother had a family name, and she said 'Well, she was our first, and we liked the fact that there are no nicknames for it ... oh, hello Eve!'

---

So, I suppose it's best to go for Eva and have the option of Eve as a nn, rather than going for Eve and not being able to use Eva, just the juvenile Evie.

---

My grandmother was Florence, known as Florrie, by the way, and my grandfather was Thomas, known as Tom. So they knew a thing or two about nicknames ...

I love both and can't really decide which I prefer. I guess I'm more likely to use Eva as a first name and Eve as a middle name.

Eva!!

Eve

Depends on the pronunciation.

Eve I prefer if it's going to be a long E, although Eva I usually prefer, because I pronounce it ay-va, as in my German cousin Eva.
But in your preference I'd go by Eve.

I love both, but I would be more likely to use Eva.

Eve!

i would go with Eve, it's not as popular, and i like that! It's very simple, but pretty & understated

Probably Eva. Though both are lovely, so it's a tough choice!

:)

Eva.

I just think it's prettier.

Eva definitely. I don't like Eva (long e) as much as with the 'ay' sound, but I don't like the sound of Eve at all. Eva sounds better, looks better, and doesn't invite any "Adam & Eve" jokes.

Eve

Eve, but if I could pronounced Eva how I like, then I prefer that (sounds like Ava)

Eve

Eve by far
