My best friend growing up was
Eve but she usually went by
Evie, especially more so as she got older and even now in her early twenties she goes by
Evie. It's only really her parents that call her
Eve and I sometimes call her E.
Eve is in my Top Ten, I love it so much but would try to use it rather than
Evie (a bit like the parents in the above example I guess).
I've heard of
Evie also being used as a nickname for
Evelyn (EV-lyn) and
Genevieve. "ee" ending names are very popular in the UK so recently I've been more likely to hear "just"
Evie.
