Love both names for a girl, and I just wanted to get some feedback because I can't pick between them and I don't know what we're having just yet, but Xavier has been mentioned for a boy, it does remind me of the X Men but I don't think it's that big of an issue, so would like to know if people like it

Eva is lovely, but I think too common at the moment. How about something like Evangeline? She could have Eva as a nn but would have the longer version which is a bit more individual. Maya is lovely too x

Much prefer Ava. Eva is EVIL to my ears.

Eva and Maya both are good names. Eva sounds better.

I love Eva, Maya is ok. I know as many Maya's as Eva's where I am in north London so for me they are both similar popularity-wise.

Maya. Can't stand the name Eva.

Xavier's gorgeous.

Eva and derivatives thereof are very popular. I think Maya is beautiful and not quite as popular.

Xavier is good, but yes the X men...
