Is Eve very popular?

I know Ava is very high up in popularity, but is Eve? And what could it be short for apart from Evelyn?

Yes, I think if Evie/Eva are that popular then that would turn me off it. I don't want her to be known by her surname!

I know quite a few Eves. Eva and Evie are more popular, but so similar that they all seem to blur into one.

I love Guinevere, so I suppose it could be short for that?

I haven't met that many here but knew 2 in London, but they must now be 5 years old, so I wasn't sure if it was still used a lot, ie if there is likely to be another in her small village class!

Most girls I know are called eve. Definitely avoid if popularity bothers you! Its this generations sarah.

I only know one Eve, compared to 3 Ava's. Could also be short for Genevieve.
Evelyn is really pretty though...
