Ever - Baby girl name?

[Morningfog2]

Hey all,

Is Ever a name that I could use for a baby girl?

I want to use the name Eva to be honest but with the German accent, so "Eh-Va" , not "EE - Va" which is the english version.

Hence I thought of Ever? Could it be a name?

How "Eh-Va" can be written to make a name with this sound?

Opinions please :)

Ehva

No.

Just use Eva and pronounce it differently. Changing the spelling usually doesn't solve anything.

Ava might be closer in pronouciation, A-vah

Or two v's?

Is your surname Green?
Use the spelling Ewa - it's a Polish name said as Evva.

Everly?

Ever isn't a name and it won't be pronounced how you want by anyone with an accent with a rhotic r.

Only with the full name being Everhard (and it's for a boy). Ever sounds like you can't pronounce Heather.

FWIW I knew a polish eva and we just pronounced it like she told us.

Actually no I remember now! She spelt it Ewa

I taught a girl called Ever once, I thought it was a lovely name.

I was watching the housewives of orange County and one of the children was called Everleigh which I thought was really nice.

Name her Eva and pronounce it how you like it. People who know her will quickly get used to it. People who don't, don't matter.

Eva is a beautiful name, however you pronounce it and wherever you are from. By changing the spelling, it loses its meaning (in this case, it also has the effect to turning it into a word that already exists and is totally unrelated. So no, I would not do it).

Efa is a Welsh girl's name pronounced that way

I agree with @oldnorsesaga and @stickygotstuck .

I like the name Ever. Mila Jovovichs daughter is called Ever Anderson.

However you can spell it Eva and correct the pronunciation. Suppose you could even spell it Eeva

I agree with pp - spell it Eva and correct people. Ever doesn’t really work as a spelling imo because it’s a real word that isn’t usually used as a name, so it seems wrong somehow. Just my personal opinion of course :)

I know an Ewa which is pronounced Ever

No. I'd think it should be Eva.

Even after all of your attempts to explain, I still can't see the problem with Eva.

If you spell it Ever then you and your DD will be constantly having to explain it and correct people.

No, not a loving thing to do. Think of all the cruel comments that will happen.

Is your surname "Ready"!!!

I’ve heard of a Everly as a girls name. It is alright I suppose.

I knew a baby called Evelyn, pronounced Ever-lin and they all called her Ever. It was sweet

Exactly. ‘Ever’ isn’t a homonym for ‘Eva’ or ‘Evva’ in my accent.
