What do you all think of Eve? Has it been overdone due to the popularity of Evie?

@IamnotwhouthinkIam I can never understand it either, to me it’s the original and best… but also I’m not complaining because I like that it’s not so popular.

Eve isn't underused, it is quite popular, just not as overused as Evie, Eva, Ava, Evelyn and Ivy

Eve is classic and lovely, but the overall trend will date it as soon as stronger sounding names become popular

It's a beautiful name and one I've considered but my 3 dds have longer names so doesn't look right.
Prefer it to Evie! Very pretty.

It's lovely, so simple and elegant.

God don’t do it! It’s like calling a girl Sarah or Claire in the 70s. At one point a third of the girls in dd1 class were named a variant of Eve. Super dull.

I love Eve, only known one child called Eve, but lots of Evie’s, great choice OP

How?! Felt like there had been passed a law that every girl must be named Eve / Evie or Eva. Soooo many of them. Dds friends at one point were Eve G Eve W and Eve C. Definitely one to avoid. So many lovely names why does everyone choose the same ones?!

Eva, Evie and Evelyn I think are all in the top 50. Along with Ava and Ivy, the names start to blend in a lot. I do think Eve is a nice name but it’s just become a bit bland for me now. At least some of the popular names stand out a bit on their own even if they are very common. I would personally choose something a bit more unusual. Lots of nice short name for girls that are not quite as popular x
