Names that aren't Eve

We love Eve but feel it (when combined with Eva and Evie) is just too popular. Don't want to give our DC a name that will require an initial after it at school, work etc

So if you like Eve, what other names do you like? Please inspire me..

I wanted Eve initially. I just didn't like the fact it couldn't be abbreviated or have a nn. Other names I liked were:
Meredith
Kristin
Tamsin
Claudia
Marigold! (Maggie)

MerryMarigold · 03/02/2011 22:17

Oh, also Sylvie or Sylvia.

I know a Cece, which is beautifgul. She's a Cecelia actually by could also shorten Cecily to Cece.

Not sure if that's anything like Eve? Confused

Oh Yes, Cecily. I loved that too.

Just seen that there's a Cece in this thread! Honestly hadn't realised until now, (unless it was a subconscious thing!) Good name!
