Middle name for Eva

19 replies

Hello, my 2nd daughter is due next month. We are pretty set on the name Eva, but I'm wondering if Olivia works as a middle name. Eva Olivia? We both really like Olivia but have decided against it for a first name.

I also keep coming and going from the name Evie (I know Evie is more popular) for her first name. What are people's thoughts? Thank you.

i really like both Eva and Evie, but i think i would go for Eva (i know a lovely little Eva and she gets called Vee by her parents, sort of a nod to Evie?) I also think that Eva Olivia works nicely. you could also consider:

Eva Taren
Eva Marie
Eva Megan
Eva Jade
Eva Carina

all the best and congratulations!

No I don’t think they work together.
They both end the same and have the same V sound in the middle.
I’d also any middle name beginning with L as it could sound like Evil...
Eva Rose
Eva Rae
Eva Marie
Eva Grace
Eva Belle
Eva Naomi
Eva Willow

I’d go with Eva rather than Evie as she can always be called Evie as her nickname if you chose Evie

Middle name I’d go for Elizabeth or something like that. Louise? Grace?

Olivia is nice too though

I love Eva Marie!

Peony99 · 11/10/2019 16:10

Second Eva Marie!

Eva Jane

Go for Eva rather than Evie, and don’t use Olivia as a middle name.
Eva Colette
Eva Louise
Eva Harriet
Eva Alexis
Eva Beatrix
Eva Madeleine
Eva Penelope
Eva Willow

Eva Olivia will end up sounding like Eva Rolivia.
The two names are too vowel heavy and the v in both is a bit too much. I'd go for a stronger middle name.

I like Evie and Eve but don't like Eva. Don't like Evelyn either.

Definitely Eva for me. Only know one and she is Eva Seren which I think is gorgeous. Liked PP suggestion of Eva Madeline too. Don't think Eva or Evie go with Olivia but if you love the name def just go for it.

I know an Eva Gabrielle which I think is lovely

MissHenty · 11/10/2019 16:54

What’s your other daughter called if you don’t mind me asking @splishsplashsploshsplishsplash

Musmerian · 11/10/2019 16:57

I’m Eva Maria! I’m 50+ so it’s very strange to see my name becoming popular. There were no others when I was growing up.

snailsnail · 11/10/2019 17:20

Eva Olivia is a lovely name.
The main thing is if you like it. Someone will always find something agains the name.

ilovethatshow · 11/10/2019 17:30

Eva Alexandra is lovely

splishsplashsploshsplishsplash · 11/10/2019 18:26

Thank you so much for all the comments. Eva Marie is lovely. I think we're leaning more towards Eva, like a pp said, you can then have the nickname Evie! X

@splishsplashsploshsplishsplash Ah lovely

Eva and Freya sound perfect together x

Not Eva and Olivia together. I would stick with Eva and she can always be called Evie as well if she likes.
