Ever - Baby girl name?

42 replies

Hey all,

Is Ever a name that I could use for a baby girl?

I want to use the name Eva to be honest but with the German accent, so "Eh-Va" , not "EE - Va" which is the english version.

Hence I thought of Ever? Could it be a name?

How "Eh-Va" can be written to make a name with this sound?

Opinions please :)

I like the name Ever. Mila Jovovichs daughter is called Ever Anderson.

However you can spell it Eva and correct the pronunciation. Suppose you could even spell it Eeva

I agree with @oldnorsesaga and @stickygotstuck .

Efa is a Welsh girl's name pronounced that way

Name her Eva and pronounce it how you like it. People who know her will quickly get used to it. People who don't, don't matter.

Eva is a beautiful name, however you pronounce it and wherever you are from. By changing the spelling, it loses its meaning (in this case, it also has the effect to turning it into a word that already exists and is totally unrelated. So no, I would not do it).

I was watching the housewives of orange County and one of the children was called Everleigh which I thought was really nice.

I taught a girl called Ever once, I thought it was a lovely name.

Actually no I remember now! She spelt it Ewa

Newsenmum · 19/03/2024 11:04

FWIW I knew a polish eva and we just pronounced it like she told us.

Only with the full name being Everhard (and it's for a boy). Ever sounds like you can't pronounce Heather.

Ever isn't a name and it won't be pronounced how you want by anyone with an accent with a rhotic r.

tealandteal · 19/03/2024 11:04

Everly?

Is your surname Green?
Use the spelling Ewa - it's a Polish name said as Evva.

qotsa · 19/03/2024 11:03

Or two v's?

Saisong · 19/03/2024 11:02

Ava might be closer in pronouciation, A-vah

oldnorsesaga · 19/03/2024 11:02

Just use Eva and pronounce it differently. Changing the spelling usually doesn't solve anything.

idontlikealdi · 19/03/2024 11:02

No.

Newsenmum · 19/03/2024 11:01

Ehva
