Help[Opinions] Eva
Do you like Eva?
How do you pronounce it in English?
I used to always think it was okay and I was only aware of the English pronunciation EE-va.
But a British friend of mine pronounces it EH-va (short EH as in Ever) in English and I quite like it. Now I am not sure if this is a common British pronunciation. How do you pronounce Eva in English where you're from? Did you ever hear it as EH-va in English?
I am only asking about English pronunciations because I know Eva can be pronounced differently in other languages. In German it's EH-fa but the EH is long and outside of English speaking countries I've heard it as EH-va (long EH) a lot. But the British friend said EH-va (short EH), so like Ever but with an -a ending.
She says Evelyn as EEV-linn and that seems to be the common British pronunciation. But I don't know how most people in Britain would say Eva, I always assumed EE-va.
