Opinions positive and negative will really help as feeling quite stuck......

Eva Rose or Edith Rose

Essentially Eva or Edith since the middle name won't get much of an outing!

I have a preference and DH has his but we do like them both.

Thanks!

Edith.

Eva is lovely, but there are SOOO many of Evas, Eves, Evies, Evelyns around.

Both nice : Eva prettier but fairly ubiquitous ; Edith more dignified, less well used but not unusual and good NB Edie

Have finally made a decision, thanks again for everyone's thoughts.

So opinions seem fairly split, maybe slightly more in favour of Edith.

I agree with all the comments about Eva including it being a bit too popular and a name slightly of the era (I did laugh when someone mentioned it was the equivalent of my own name being a product of the 80's! Grin)

However we got our toddler to say both names. I don't know why but it just melted me when he said Eva. It sounded right so that's what we've chosen.

Just thought I'd update for anyone who might be interested!
