[Opinions] Re: Ava or Eva?
Eva! I pronounce it the Spanish way though, so it sounds like Ava anyway. I just prefer the look of Eva because it doesn't look as young/popular as Ava. I like EE-va too, I guess, but not nearly as much as AY-va.
There's also something I don't like about A pronounced "AY"... I just think A's are nicer when they're "AH"s. That's probably why I don't like Ava as much as Eva, even though I say them the same way.

I pronounce Ava as AH-vah... not AY-vah.:)
I also don't get how you get Ay-vah out of that... as from my knowledge "Ave" as in Ave maria is pronounced Ah-vah maria. :s

I like Ava "AH-va" a lot more than AY-vah! Unfortunately the AY- pronunciation is so popular where I live that an Ava AH-va would just get called AY-va all the time...

I know what you mean...
Sadly it too would be mispronounced and called Ay-vah where I live as well.
That's too bad.. "AH-vah" is such a pretty name...
