Help[Opinions] Re: Eva!!!!!!!!!
in reply to a message by brandyleeeee
Eh-va rather than Ee-va would be the ordinary pronounciation of the name in most latin countries, so I'm fine with it, because it is legit in itself. However, I don't think you can randomly change the pronounciation and spelling of any name, it can create confusion and sound ignorant. This is a opinion board, so you can't expect everyone to share your taste, which is subjective...

But you can randomly change a pronounciation, because, well, I did.
And I don't think I sound ignorant, because, you have to understand, I grew up with this name in my family since birth, and I have heard it used a lot. And I anticipated having to correct people, but if my daughter gets tired of that when she is older, there are lots of variations of Evalyn she can go by. Or, I gave her a more traditional middle name (Victoria) in case her taste when she is old enough to decide what to go by, she can go by whatever she wants. I think a name is uniquely yours and you can go by whatever you want (to a certain point, because when she's 4 she would probably like to go by Princess Unicorn or something)
