Eve?

[sunshinemummy2012]

Good evening, could you please let me know if you feel Eve is too popular? I really do not like Evie but love Eve however, I wonder if the overuse of Evie has killed it. Other names that made the list are Genevieve, Stephanie, Marnie, Julia, Tessa. Thanks for your suggestions.

I haven't met any but I also haven't met any Olivia's- so I dunno how popular it is. I like eve.

I also like Julia and Marnie. Marnie sounds quite sweet valley high to me. Julia is a nice easy spelling and I haven't met one under 25 recently.

My eldest is Eve in year 5 and she's the only 1 in her school.
I'm also in your alternative list too so am slightly torn...0

OK well every other girl round here is called Eve or Evie.

How about Niamh, Never or a maeve?

[Sophronia]

Evie, Eva, Ava etc are very popular so Eve kind of blends in with that trend. I like Genevieve and Julia best from your list.

[sunshinemummy2012]

Thank you everyone. I think Maeve is lovely but a no no for DH and I'm not mad on Niamh. I guess we need to go back to the drawing board. I would love a strong pretty name but not overly popular.

[EmpressOfJurisfiction]

Bit out there but could you have Genevieve with Eve as a short?

Useful to check popularity. Also keep in mind name families. Therefore Isobel, Sophie, Esme and their spelling variants are also quite popular.

Great thank you for the list very helpful.

[KERALA1]

Most girls around here are called eve. It's this generations sarah

[BeeBawBabbity]

My eldest is Eve, only one in her large secondary. Lots of Evie's though. She was the only one in her primary too.

[KERALA1]

Legions of them here...eve/Evie/Eva so similar. At one stage one third of girls in dds class named a variant of eve. Very confusing and quite abit of name regret. Honestly I would avoid

[aoife24]

When I was growing up I was the only one and quite often as a kid I encountered reactions when I said my name. I still have never met another adult Eve. I can't say I'm sorry it's so popular now though. My mum was clearly right, it's a fine name, she was just a bit 'avant la lettre'.
