Ava or Eva??

[everythinghappensforareason]

Please help :)

Eva

Eva - here in the Netherlands it's pronounced Ava anyway - and it's a delicious name!

Not helping now...Ava for me!

Ava

Ava from me!

My friend's name is Eva, pronounced 'Ever'

It's lovely.

Ava.

Or, to throw another one in the mix Aoife (Ee-fa)

I like both - both gorgeous names so not really helping!

Love both. Do they have different meanings? Perhaps that could help you decide?

I haven't come across Ava, but maybe it works better with your surname that Eva?

I would pronounce them Eeva and Aaaava. Am I wrong there? I may even pronounce them Ahve (as in Maria) but then that's me!

Eva, or even Eve (nicer IMO)

Ava. Seems we're pretty split!

Eva much nicer imo but if you like both then yes maybe look at the meanings and if one is nicer than the other then use that one?

Eva is much the nicest. :)

Eva.
My DD is Eva. We couldn't decide between the two but I love Eva much more now. Plus have met a lot lot more Ava's on the baby circuit

I think Eva is nicer and less common than Ava

I think Ava is much less common than Eva.

Both are currently in frequent use: on 2010 list, if you added together Eva/Eve/Evie/Ava the name was number 2. I haven't done the arithmetic on the 2011 yet, but the positions remain high.

I prefer Eva (influence of the New Seekers, I suspect).

Why don't you try something else altogether? Honestly, there are so many of both around, she'll be Eva B or Ava C (e.g) throughout her schooldays.

Eva.

Neither! There are soooo many little girls called Ava/Eva/Evie etc.

Eva!

Eva is more classic I think, Ava is lovely but a bit more faddy.

Aoife! Much less common in the uk than Eva and Ava.

I prefer Ava.
