Eve is nice but dull now, because it’s 20 years behind the curve. I know a few in their early 20s. Evie is cutesy as a name in itself. May is also nice but don’t spell it Mai or Mae. It’s been overused as a middle name for years though. It’s better as a first name.

In my daughter's nursery class there were 14 girls, 7 (yes 50%) of them were called Evie, Eve or Eva. My other daughter (4 years older) had two in her class.

Avoid avoid.

Evie-May/Mae is v v popular. Eva is nice and much less popular

I like Eve and Evie but not Eva, Evelyn or Evangeline.
They are overused.
-Mae/Mai is a bit downmmarket and May is overused as a mn.
Ev Ma is likely to be known as Ev* Surname.

It's funny to here Eve described as common when I never encountered another one until the recent rise in its popularity. I do actually prefer Eve. Eva and Evie can be used as diminutives (if that's is appropriate for such short names).

Eva is the nicest of them , but it's overused

I like both but they are definitely extremely popular. When DD's ballet teacher gave out certificates at the end of term, half the class stood up every time she said "Evie". So it depends how bothered you are about popularity vs uniqueness.
