Can you call a girl Eve if you already have an Adam - or is that naff?

I have two boys with very biblical names, love the name Eve but already have an Adam. Would it be stupid to call our next baby if it's a girl Eve? would Evie be a good compromise???

No, no, no.

Give Evie a miss, too (too popular!)

Definitely naff.

Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, do it. DO IT.

No

PlonkerTeatowelOnTheirHeads · 27/12/2008 22:43

I wouldn't, no.

i don't see the big deal - if you like the names, go for it.

incest - oh please - they are just names.

Not naff just a bit peculiar and they would face a lifetime of incest jokes. Viv Hope in Emmerdale called her twins Cathy and Heathcliff in a similar vein.

How about Lilith?

LOL at Adam 'n' Niamh

well Im going to be different and say yes I would if I could have got dh along with it (Adam was one of our possible boys names) but you could if you really like the idea of Eve go with the Gaelic Aoife (pro Efa) it is according to popular belief the Gaelic version of Eve..
