I love it and it has been creeping around my top ten for years now. Which way do you prefer to pronounce it?

Eva is a fave of mine and one I've loved for years. Eva has never made me think of evil, not at all. Eva Magdalene is my fave of your combos.

I love Eva, Eve, Evelyn... pretty much anything with that Ev- sound. I've liked Eva for the longest, since I was a kid myself. I don't think of "evil" at all when I see it.

Eva Magdalene is a nice combo. I don't mind Eva Victoria either, though it's a bit sing-songy. Elizabeth Eva isn't my cup of tea, though.

I really like Eva. And Evie. And Evita. And Genevieve. And Evelyn (although I don't pronounce that it like EEV. Oh and Ava too, I suppose. Pity my cousin's baby daughter is named Evie. Boo.

---

I don't think it's too close to 'evil' at all.

---

Eva Magdalene is pretty cool. Elizabeth Eva is a bit awkward is a bit awkward though.

---

Genevieve "Evie", "Eve" is my favourite, but nn Eva could work too if you think Eva by itself is too close to 'evil' (again, totally not).

---

I like Eva but I think Eve is even better! Eve just seems a bit simpler and it's less like "evil" as you say - although I've never thought Eva sounds like evil anyway.

---

Eva Magdalene is beautiful!

---

My Eva combos are
Eva Josephine
Eva Juliet
Eva Meredith
Eva Penelope

I had an Eva aunt who was ... interesting. But not remotely evil. I prefer Eva to Eve - seems more complete. Don't like Evelyn. Do like Lyneve!

---

I briefly considered something like Eloise Vickie Anne or Esme Victoria Alice, good little acronyms and including other names I'd like better than Eva itself. But I didn't go that route. Life's too short to have enough daughters.

I never before thought of that association until you mentioned it, and I don't think most people will either.

Eva Magdalene is pretty, despite being uber biblical. It has a bit of a medieval vibe to it, imo. I don't really know why.
I don't like the similiar sounds with EVA VIctoriA.
Elizabeth Eva is just too E heavy, even for me.

I like it as long as it's pronounced "Eve-ah". If you're going to pronounce it like Ava, just name her Ava. Meh.

I've had a bit of a name crush on this lately too which surprises me. I think it's pretty not too close to Evil at all, I wouldn't have even thought of that myself. I like it as a nn for Genevieve, even though it's a little far-fetched

This is weird...I had a dream last night that I was named Eva.

I like the name. It's dark, but in a good way. I usually don't like Magdalene, but Eva Magdalene is a great combo. Dynamic.
