Eve and Steve- thoughts ?

We love the name Evelyn for a girl and would shorten to Eve. Only issue is my husband is called Stephen and goes by Steve with everyone bar his parents. Do you think Eve and Steve are too similar? Will they sound silly together? My husband assures me nobody would make the connection or think about them rhyming m. Would appreciate honest opinions

Way too similar - imagine calling St(eve) up the stairs - who would be meant?!

I thought this was a twin names post 🤣🤣

Father and daughter? No issue.
I'd be slightly more hesitant for a pair of siblings.

I wouldn’t do it personally.. in every card it’ll be: love from Steve, Camden, Eve…

It’s fine. The only issue I could see is when you’re calling for one of them across the house…

Is this where you tell us that your name is Martha, and you already have an older son called Arthur?!

Absolutely fine as a parents name. I’d only avoid if it were a sibling set.

Oh I see I’ve said the opposite to the person above so just to clarify, I mean - it’s a total non-issue. She will be out in the world soon enough as her own person (work, mates, partner etc) and it won’t matter one but what her dad is called.

Don’t give this a second thought

Awful together, almost like a joke .
