What do you all think of Eve? Has it been overdone due to the popularity of Evie?

Lovely name, reminds me of someone I used to know - who was also lovely!

There are so many similar names that it merges into them. Evie, Eva, Ava, Ivy, Niamh (mispronounced as Neev), Evelyn. Aoife etc

I don't like the others but I do like Eve.

I think it's beautiful. I have taught in a secondary school for 11 years and have never come across an Eve.

I like it a lot. Classic and timeless, particularly compared to Evie, which is overused and I think will sound dated in the future.

It’s just dull so me along with Evie, Evelyn, Eva, Ivy, Ava. The whole sound is just saturated which makes all names of that family bland.

I like it but reminds me a Evie which has been so over done

It's lovely. I work with children under 5 and I have actually come across more Eves than Evies in recent years, despite Evie being the more popular name. Don't let popularity put you off though because it really is gorgeous. Timeless, simple and pretty.

My all time favourite. The popularity of trendier variations - Eva, Evie, Evelyn and even Ava make it seem more ubiquitous than it is. The original and classic has never been extremely popular in recent times to my knowledge. I can understand why some feel it’s lost in the sea of those names though. For me it’s a perfect choice - the lbd of names.
