Can you call a girl Eve if you already have an Adam - or is that naff?

I have two boys with very biblical names, love the name Eve but already have an Adam. Would it be stupid to call our next baby if it's a girl Eve? would Evie be a good compromise???

I agree - Adam and Eve? both lovely names. But not together...

I really think you should steer clear of Eve. Not worth the potential teasing and constant jibes. Maybe Evelyn - pronounced everlyn. Just a thought. Good luck.

Are you very religious? If you are then I think it's fine.

i, personally, wouldn't

my brother is Adam and my great nan was called Eva and tried very hard to persuade my mum to call me Eve lol
thankfully my mother had more sense.
