I really like the name
Aviva. My sister actually has a close friend she grew up with by this name, so it's very familiar to me. But I'll have to think about
Evie as a nickname for that one because it doesn't feel very intuitive. And if I used it, my sister might just associate it with her friend and think, way to be original! I wonder if other people feel uncommon names are ruined because you don't want people to think you "stole" it from someone you know...
Cool suggestions. I'm feeling
Evette too. I have a thing for French-influenced names. I really have to learn better French...hmm what about Evelette? Like a cross between
Evelyn and
Evette?
