Eva

youngestisapsycho · 11/04/2017 13:58

is that pronounced as Lee-Ah or Lay-Ah?

youngestisapsycho · 11/04/2017 13:59

There are a lot of Evas around...

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/04/2017 14:00

Leia.

But prefer the other 'L' names like Lara and Lola.

MrsChopper · 11/04/2017 14:02

Not too keen on either sorry! but I'd pick Eva out of the two.

Eva

Leia is cute but the Star Wars joke will never end....

narroweddownto2 · 11/04/2017 14:23

youngestisapsycho pronounced Lay-ah.

ThroughThickAndThin01 I love Lola but already given that name to a pet Smile

tatatelle star wars joke doesn't bother us as princess Leia is seen as a strong, feisty and admirable character. Incidentally due date is 5th May (so may well land on star wars day).

Eva

Leia.

And I'd assume you to be a cool Star Wars fan

Corialanusburt · 11/04/2017 14:28

Lots of Evas and Evies around, but fine if you're not bothered by that. I prefer sound of Leia, but would maybe change it to Laila.

Creatureofthenight · 11/04/2017 14:32

Leia. Especially if she arrives on Star Wars Day!

mum2be2boys · 11/04/2017 14:38

Another vote for Leia :-)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/04/2017 14:58

Eva.

PinkCrystal · 11/04/2017 15:00

Eva

BagelDog · 11/04/2017 15:01

Awful lot of Eva's and Eve's and Evie's round here. Leia is lovely xx

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/04/2017 15:17

Leia.

narroweddownto2 · 11/04/2017 15:43

I was surprised to hear there are lot's of Eva's as I don't know any where we live, although there are a few Evie's and Ava's.

I thought the voting might produce a clear winner, but it appears torn.
