[Opinions] Re: Eva!!!!!!!!!
in reply to a message by lady murasaki
I don't expect everyone to share my taste...
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)
