Eva because it sounds nicer and isn't as popular
Both are lovely, if popular. I think I like Eva a bit better.
I just like the sound of Eva better.
Eva I think, but I'm not a huge fan of either.
I prefer Eva (ay-va). Eve (ee-va) and Ava (ay-va) seem trendier to me, not as timeless and less likely to age well. I don't know about Ava (ah-va), I like it but I don't know how common it is since I've never met one. Actually I don't know if it's used at all. It seems like it would be though, at least occasionally.
Eva because it is less popular and I love the nn Evie.
Also in Spanish Eva sounds like English Ava so if you like that pronunciation you can just use Eva. My mother's cousin's daughter is the Spanish pronounced Eva.
Truthfully I love both pronunciations that each name has so I love both names and the main reason just comes down to Ava being way too popular while Eva is not yet too popular.

I prefer the pronounciation Ee-va, but I was a TV show and heard Eva said with A sound so I am not sure.
Eva pronounced with the ee sound is the English pronunciation and pronounced with the ay sound is the Spanish pronunciation. Except for my Mexican family members I've always heard it pronounced with the ee sound so I think that is the most common pronunciation in the US.
