Is it me that's wrong about this name or my DH?

[MrsThierryHenry]

A friend of mine has just given birth to a gorgeous girl and called her Eva. Here were the reactions in my household:

MTH: Ahhhh...what a gorgeous name!
TH(French accent, naturellement): Eeet serks! (trans: It sucks!)

Thankfully he waited until said friend was off the phone before sharing that little insult.

What do you think of the name?

(hmm...must try harder with bold emphasis next time...)

Lovely name.

's luvely.

very nice name

I really like it.

very bonny.

my husband who is also french vetoed Eva for our dd when it was top of my list. He did however suggest jeffrey and arthur as potential boys names. Think french men just have no taste

I love the name

Lovely name.

Jeffrey Arthur? Sounds like a highly non-intellectual writer with dubious moral convictions.... What do these Frenchies know?!

I quite like Jeffrey...I think its due a revival!

I like it! why does it mean some thing in French? It seems like one of those names that nobody could really dislike. JMO.

I like Jeffrey too. TBH I think it's quite like Finley. I can see somebody out there with a finley looking for a good brother name and coming up with Jeffrey, and once one person has done it, it'll spread, a bit, slowly.

Love it

My DH is French and Eva was his favourite girls' name when I was pg with no3

Nothing wrong with Arthur. We've got Albert on the list! Eva is OK, but doesn't do much for me.

What is it with all these Eva, Eve, Evie, Ava babies being born at the mo? Such pretty names (IMO) but I know of LOADS born in the last 2 yrs. In fact another 2 last week!
Weird.

It's a pretty name but, yes, ubiquitous. I'm getting a bit bored of it.

Eva is quite boring. There are zillions in Paris.
