Eva - how would you pronounce it?

[Anonymous]

We say EE-vah for our dd eva. We sometimes have to correct from a-vah but not that often. We love the name and are glad we used it.

I assumed it was Ee-va. I know several Ava's. One is pronounced Ah-va, and the majority of the others are pronounced with a long A for A-va. I honestly never have heard Eva pronounced any other way than Ee-va.

Not the PP, but I always thought Eva Longoria pronounced her name ee-va.

The press may, but that is not her name.

Ay-va.

All you people saying eh-va, it sounds to me like you're saying "enh-va", Do you mean you pronounce it AVA, like how Eva Peron or Ava Gardner pronounce their names?

I don't know what enhva is but technically Ava Gardner and Eva peron's names are pronounced differently. One is ay-vah (Ava) and the other is eh-va (Eva). It's like "esta" in Spanish. You're not pronouncing it right if you say "como ay-stah usted".

I know 3 of each, so take your pick and stick to it!

Eh-va. But I'm used to European spelling/pronunciation rules. I would frankly not think to pronounce it as Eeva.

I think it's one of these names that you get to decide how you want to pronounce.
