[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you're overthinking it and you should use Eve. It's a lovely name, and not over used. Yes, Evelyn is popular right now, but I don't think people shorten Evelyn to Eve, because they're different vowel sounds. Same with Evangeline (which isn't very popular to begin with.) Naming is so much more varied now than when we were kids. Even names in the top 10 aren't repeated as often as you'd think. [/quote] Some people pronounce Evangeline with a long "e" like in Eve (my niece is an "Ee-van-ja-lin") though I think Eva (pronounced "Ee-vah) is the more common nn. That is my niece's nickname. Though admittedly close friends and family sometimes call her Eve for short. I would rethink it only if it will genuinely upset you if you take your kid to a park and there is a kid named Eva or Evie there. But if that bugs you, you'll really have to go further afield for a name. My kid's name is ranked in the low 300s and there are no similar sounding names and we have met quite a few kids with her name. Never had a classmate with the name, but we've run into several others. It's not a big deal.[/quote]
