Eva/Evie pronounciation?

[Hikoridikori]

How would you pronounce the name Eva?

Ee-Va? or Eh-Va?

Then, how would you pronounce the name Evie?

Ee-Vie? or Eh-Vie?

Ee-va
Ee-vie

Eva = ee-va in the Uk. Is pronounced Ava in most European countries. If you want eh-va then the Welsh name Efa is what you’re after.

Evie = ee-vee

Ee-va
Ee-vie

But then I've never heard those names pronounced any other way

Only her heard them pronounced ee-va and ee-vie

Eva = EE-va if British or Irish. Ay-va or Eh-va if European.

Evie = EE-vee

Ee-va

I know Evie's pronounced both ee-vie and ehh-vie. The latter is short for Evelyn though, in this case.

I really would avoid all Eve names! They are insanely common. At one stage one third of the girls in my child’s class were named a variant of Eve. It got terribly confusing not to mention so dull. Seriously rethink most of my Eve mum friends (there are several) have name regret.

Ee-va
Ee-vie

Never heard either of them pronounced with an Eh sound

I know an Eh-vie who must be in her 60s or 70s. All the little one's I know are Ee-vie.

Ee sound for both.

As pp has said, Efa is welsh and so would be eh-va. Or you could choose Ever as a name if you preferred that sound at the start

In the UK I'd pronounce Eva as Eeva.

In Germany I'd pronounce it as Eh-fa

It would be the first option in the UK in both cases

Ee-va (my inner voice then adds, 'Wall-e!')

Ee-vee

Ee-va

Ee - vee

I've got a teen Eva. Whenever it's mentioned on MN it's dismissed being a very common name but that's not been our experience. There weren't/aren't any at her primary school, secondary school, FE College course or any of her many hobby groups, one of which included kids from all over the region.

God there are loads here (south west). Mine are teens most classes have several Eve/Eva/Evie’s never come across such a popular name!
