Just pick the name you like. I literally have a son named John and a daughter named Emily and they’ve never once been in a class or on a sports team with another John or Emily. Jack, Emmy, yes.

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.
Huh? I know a Evelyn in her 30s that goes by Eve.
