We are considering using
Ava for our daughter who is due in 2 weeks. DH insists on spelling it
Eva, but pronouncing it
Ava. I actually agree with him. I prefer spelling it with an "E" as opposed to an "A" because
Ava is SO common. At least the spelling is a legitimate way to mildly set it apart from the other
Ava's.
My question is, is it awful to consider spelling it the European way, using the accent aigu? So it would be Éva? I love how exotic this looks, and if she decides not to use the accent mark when she's older, she could leave it off. Is this horrible, or charming?
