Eva - eh-vah (English: eh-vah or ee-vah)
Ava - ah-vah (English: ay-vah)

---

If I had to choose between the two for a daughter I would choose Ava (ah-vah) but I think I would rather see people using Eva.

---

Eva: EE-Vah
Ava: AY-vah

---

I prefer Ava. Dunno why.

---

And yes I would use it, I don't care that it's popular I have never met one.

Eva: EH-vah
Ava: AH-vah

---

I prefer Ava. Eva is dated.

I say EV-ah and AY-vah. I prefer Eva because Ava is too popular, though I do like Ava. I don't think I like enough to actually use, popular or not.

I say them the sam way you do. I prefer Eva, it's more interesting and timeless. I picture a dark-haired, voluptuous woman when I think of Eva, and a fair young girl with Ava, a skinny teenager.

---

I don't think I would use Ava even if it wasn't popular, it seems to lack dimension and personality. I'd more likely use Ada, Avis or Aviva.

-I pronounce the names just the way you do.

---

-I prefer Ava because I think it has a prettier sound.

---

-I see a low-key, easy-going natural beauty in Ava, a loud, brassy, slightly obnoxious but still pretty girl in Eva.

---

-Probably, if I were having kids.

I pronounce them both AY-vah, unless the person named Eva pronounces it otherwise. I prefer Ava, though, because of the old-Hollywood glamour associations. I'd use it in a heartbeat if it hadn't become popular.

---

I have the worst luck - I loved Ava and Emma for *years* before they suddenly became popular.

I pronounce Eva EE-vah and Ava Ay-vah.

---

I love the name Eva. It is a beatiful and sounds more mature and sophisticated than Ava imo.

---

I'm not sure what kind of person I picture. I think the names can fit just about any personality.

---

I wouldnt use Ava, only because I love Eva more.

I pronounce both as AY-va, but I have an online friend with a baby Eva (EE-va) and I know one Eva (EH-va) so I adapt when I have to.

---

Of the two, I prefer Ava simply because its pronunciation is straight forward.

---

I picture a cute under-10-year-old for Ava and a pretty Latina woman with long dark hair for Eva, but either name could belong to any type of person.

---

If Ava was my favorite name, I'd use it without regard to its popularity. I'd never consider Ava or Eva, though, because I love Eve so much more.

I pronounce them the same way you do.

---

I prefer Eva. I like the sound of it better than Ava.

---

I can't really picture any Avas or Evas.

---

No. I dislike Ava.

Eva = EE-vah
Ava = AY-vah

---

I love both names, but I think I prefer Ava. I'm not too sure why I prefer it, I just do. The popularity of Ava doesn't bother me too much, as I probably wouldn't use it anyway.

I say them both as AY-va, but Ava looks too much like AH-va, so I prefer Eva.

I say EE-vah and AY-vah too.

---

I prefer Ava, just because I think it's prettier. ♥

---

And I would still use Ava even though it is popular.
