My brother has a one year old called Eva..I have just called my daughter Eve- both girls have different middle and surnames yet my sister in law has fallen out with us!!!
Is this really an issue?!..surely it doesn't matter at all!!

They knew it was a name I always liked before they named their daughter and in fact until the last minute it was going to be the middle name but my husband didn't like the first name we had and so it was the only other name we had!

I think she is probs upset that you didn't bring it up with her before naming DD, something along the lines of "I always liked the name Eve for a girl, I know it's similar to Eva but I hope you don't mind..." Not asking if you could, just telling her in advance sort of thing...
