How many Evas do you know?

[sparkling123]

Just that really and also how would you pronounce it?

We gave DD a hugely popular name for her year and I have never regretted it a jot

But it's not you, but your daughter that has to live with the name.

Eva is very popular and a little overused

Love how parents on this board pat themselves on the back about their choice of names - its the kids opinions as adults thats the proof of the pudding! My name is boring there are usually 2 or 3 in each friendship group of women in their 40s. Abit dull imo. My sister got a brilliant name and I have name envy!

I like Edie

I actually like Eva but I’m my head it always ends with “Braun”

Ava’s are absolutely ten a penny down here in Surrey. Everywhere.

A friend has a dd in year 4 there are 4 Eva's in her school year. Also 3 Ava's. Very common in Devon.

17 that I can put faces to in DD's primary school alone.

Including friends children over 25. Scotland.

I'm in Scotland and only know one. Lovely name!

Lots we are in NE. My little girl is Evie because we didn't think it was that popular, how wrong we were but I still love it

I’m a teacher and know none. I know 2 Evies and one Ava but no Eva. I love it!

Only 0.24% of babies were called it last year and it was 33rd on ONS list so it cannot be that popular nationally. Eve is even less popular but Evie is more so.

2 in DDs class.

One. I also know two Avas and an Evie, all age 8 or under.

It always makes me think of Eva Braun, tbh.

2 Eva's
2 Avas
3 Eves
Plus lots of Evies, Ellie and Ellas.

It's not just Eva, but there are so many Evies, Ellies, Eves and Avas.

Wow, if that many Evas are known I dread to think how many Olivias are.

Giving that Eva is ranked 33rd.

Cbeebiesrehab certainly more people named their babies Olivia than Eva in the past few years but whether there are more Olivias overall I don’t know... just thinking that I personally know several non-English adult Evas but I can’t say the same about Olivia. Also, Eva gets lumped in with all of the similar names like Ava, Eve, Evie whilst Olivia doesn’t have any direct comparisons, except perhaps Olive but that’s hardly popular. So it might give the impression that there are more Evas than there actually are... Who knows!

Yeah it’s not so much how many Eva’s but all the virtually indistinguishable names like Ellie, Ava, Evie... they all sound so similar that they should be combined for ranking IMO. But if you love it then go for it.

Eva is pretty but part of a group of names which sound the same and are v common at the moment, if that bothers you.

In London I know 1 Eva, 2 Evies, 3 Edies, 3 Avas, 2 Adas and 2 Ivys. All under 4.

I think the problem is you’ve got all the Eves, Evas, Avas and Evies which all sound almost the same and added together it’s everywhere. An Olivia would probably sound less common despite being the most popular name.

Former teacher (quit in feb). Yorkshire based. Had one mixed class of 18 - 3 Evies and an eva. And another clad class had one of each. Massive over saturation!!

I'm Manchester area and know 7 Eva's, aged 12months to 15 years. It's a lovely name and is very popular

There are too many Eves, Evas, Evies as well as Ellies and Ellas. They've become boring through overuse

Avoid all the names in sunflowers post every other girl named one of those it seems plus Amelia and Olivia. Odd when there are loads of lovely unused "normal" names. Zoe, Miranda, Tess, Gemma off top of head. Why all pick the same ones?!
