[Opinions] Eve vs. Eliza
I have a character that I'm trying to rename. So tell me which do you prefer Eve or Eliza? And why?
Additional info: the genre is young adult supernatural thriller. She's 17, a senator's daughter, only child, and struggling for independance. She's well versed in all social graces and plays well in the political arena. Her last name is Karrington. The full names will actually be Evelyn or Elizabeth but she'll primarily go by the nicknames. If it matters she's very petite (close to scrawny) with very pale blonde hair, pale skin, and deep blue eyes. Thanks for helping!

I'm going to go against the curve here and say Eve. I like Eve better as a name and I think the name suits the character's description well.

I'm going to go with Elizabeth/Eliza, mostly because of the last name. Evelyn and Eliza fit the character, Eve doesn't really, and Elizabeth is common enough that it could fit almost anyone.

I like both names, but she sounds more like an Elizabeth "Eliza" than an Evelyn "Eve." Eliza is a lovely name.

Eliza! Please pick Eliza! There will be millions of Eve's, but Eliza is getting to be a bit rare.
