I love Eve out of all your names. I also like Eva.

---

I’ve always disliked Ava.

I like both but Eva wins out because I really like -a ending girls names

---

And I wouldn't choose differently because I don't like any of your additional three

Eva for your first question, and Ava for the second.

I don't find Eve bland and boring at all. To me it's nice and simple like you said, but also elegant and beautiful in its simplicity. I also love Eva and go back on forth on which name I love more between the two! Ava, Evelina and Evangeline are all fine too, but Eve and Eva are nicer.

For me - I would usually lean more toward longer names versions to lengthen the formality; yet this automatically & directly facilitates a greater variety of nicknames and diminutives - but I've stated this often recently - that there is little reason that someone formally named Jo (or Joe) could not use the version Josephine or Joseph for formal situations.

I do not find anything bland or boring about any of these classic names--and I've no problem for Eve to use Eva (or Ava) as she likes it: or if Evelina, Evelino, Evengeline uses Eva, Evan, (phonetic - Evaleen), Evaline - with long I sound, Angel, Angie, Ann(e), Anna, or Angeline (with a long 'I' or a short 'I').

Eva is a family name; my aunt was sometimes called Eve, though! I prefer Eve, but not enough to use.

Ava, Evelina and Evangeline aren't names I'd ever consider for a split second. I might think (briefly!) about Evelyn but I'd be more likely to use Lyneve.
