I like it, though I've always pronunced it DARE-drah and would have trouble adjusting, heh. I don't think it's too similar to
Eva. I'd never use
Deirdre, since I know one (she's called DeeDee) who has repeatedly ignored my desire to be on the stage. Puts a bit of a bias on the name, heh. :)
I really like
Eva, though. It's gorgeous. It's really too bad that it's getting so popular, because I would seriously consider it otherwise.
