Girl Names

I’m really loving the name [name]Eve[/name] lately! :slight_smile: What are your thoughts on it? Or [name]Eva[/name]? [name]Both[/name] are possibilities for me and my partner :slight_smile: He has a long surname so we’ve had quite the time finding names to flow with it well. I think we’d call her [name]Evie[/name] :slight_smile:

If you like [name]Eve[/name], do you have any middle name suggestions? So far, [name]Eve[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Eve[/name] [name]Carolyn[/name] are options. But I’d love more! If you don’t love [name]Eve[/name], could you suggest some similar styled names I could consider?

Thank you so much berries!

I love [name]Eve[/name] so much! There’s also [name]Neve[/name], [name]Edie[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Nell[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], [name]Adele[/name] which have a similar feel imo.

Thanks minisia! :slight_smile: I love [name]Edie[/name], [name]Elsa[/name], and [name]Adele[/name]! I know my partner likes [name]Edie[/name], I wonder about the other two… :slight_smile:

4

[name]Eve[/name] is simply beautiful! I prefer it over the more exotic [name]Eva[/name].
My husband thinks it is too old sounding for a baby though.

5

I think [name]Eve[/name] is a beautiful name - along with [name]Eva[/name]. They are both very popular though - I have come across quite a few recently. But you are not too bothered about that then all is good :slight_smile:

6

Normally my man doesn’t love “old lady” names, but he surprised me with [name]Eve[/name]! :slight_smile: It is a little popular lately, unfortunately, but his other options ([name]Emma[/name], [name]Riley[/name], [name]Haley[/name], [name]Isabelle[/name], etc) were about the same :frowning: Originally I was aiming for out of the top 100, but it seems the few names we agree on are high up there :frowning:

7

Really like it. :slight_smile: I prefer [name]Eve[/name] [name]Carolyn[/name].

8

I really love [name]Eve[/name]. It’s simple but interesting and underused. It’s meaningful but not fussy.

other middle options:
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Jillian[/name] or [name]Julienne[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Adela[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Carlotta[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Antoinette[/name]

I love [name]Eve[/name]! I liked the sweet openness of it, the simplicity, the easy option of [name]Evie[/name] (which I adore!). It was on my list long before [name]Eva[/name] was. But then things about it bothered me–it is so short, compared to all my other favorites (could [name]Isabelle[/name] and [name]Eve[/name] be sisters? Naturally? [name]Liliana[/name] and [name]Eve[/name]?). It seems like a Biblical choice a lot of secular people like (I’m not sure why. I think a lot of Christians are bothered by the fact that she’s the first sinner, but to non-Christians, it’s just a nice name from the Bible? Maybe they even respect [name]Eve[/name] from a feminism standpoint?), but if I was going to use a Bible name, I wanted one my child would be proud to hear in the middle of a sermon at church, not cringe at. And it’s not like I think [name]Eve[/name] was unredeemable, I think she was. I think after the fall both [name]Adam[/name] and [name]Eve[/name] both fully embraced forgiveness and eagerly awaited the day the [name]Messiah[/name] would come. I am not sure why [name]Eve[/name] has a stigma, and [name]Adam[/name] doesn’t. That does seem a bit misogynistic to me, but she was the one who originally chose to sin, so maybe it has that stigma, just like [name]Pandora[/name] does from Greek Mythology. Plus, I remembered seeing this Disney [name]Channel[/name] movie when I was much younger, haha, about this doll whose name was [name]Eve[/name] and she came to life, and she was fun, and cool, don’t get me wrong, but she was so naive, and on top of that, she was so plastic and fake, and I think that sort of image came to be what I saw an [name]Eve[/name] as–a real-life [name]Barbie[/name] with a plastic personality. And that wasn’t something I wanted for my daughter at all. I still like the openness and sweetness of [name]Eve[/name], though–I just know I would never use it in a million years as a FN. I would love to see someone else use it, though, and I would consider it as a MN for the right combo. As a MN, it reminds me more of evening (and maybe even [name]Christmas[/name] [name]Eve[/name]) rather than the Biblical [name]Eve[/name], and it reminds me of beautiful purple and peach and turquoise sunsets and redemption and such. I know. I know. I’m so fickle. :confused:

I do love [name]Eva[/name], though–it represents the life and redemption of [name]Eve[/name] to me, without all the negative imagery and connotations. Plus, I met THE most adorable little girl named [name]Eva[/name] at my last job, so I sort of carry this image of an adorable, bundled-up little girl in a bright pink coat and a floral pink dress with the most beautiful smile, springy chocolate curls, bright blue eyes, and a contagious laugh. I think [name]Eva[/name] is fab, it’s on my own list.

I like the thought of [name]Eve[/name] [name]Carolyn[/name]–the last time I had [name]Eve[/name] on my list, my combo was [name]Eve[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. I really love [name]Eve[/name] [name]Caroline[/name], much more than [name]Carolyn[/name], but [name]Eve[/name] [name]Carolyn[/name] is nice, too. My first favorite [name]Eve[/name] combo was [name]Eve[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]–I still love that. I loved [name]Eve[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Eve[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name]–I think [name]Eve[/name] [name]Rebecca[/name] and [name]Eve[/name] [name]Noelle[/name] are lovely, too. [name]Eve[/name] [name]Camille[/name]? [name]Eve[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]? [name]Eve[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]? [name]Eve[/name] [name]Eliora[/name] (although that might be a tad religious, if you’re not)? [name]Eve[/name] [name]Tallulah[/name]? [name]Eve[/name] [name]Daphne[/name]?

I far prefer [name]Eve[/name] over [name]Eva[/name]. It is less popular but classic, elegant and beautiful for a child or adult. Here are some [name]Eve[/name] combinations I really like:

[name]Eve[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Celeste[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Elise[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Adele[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Marissa[/name]

[name]Eve[/name] is very pretty, but slightly too nicknamey for me to use it on its own. I would definitely say [name]Eva[/name] is fine, though. You could also consider [name]Evelyn[/name] or Evangaline.
I think a few people might wonder if you’re [name]Christian[/name], but I doubt it would be such a big problem. Again, though, [name]Eva[/name] might be better in that regard.
It’s short and sweet, a great choice overall. But be warned- with [name]Ava[/name] being so popular, people might look to [name]Eva[/name] instead, and it could become very popular very quickly.

Thank you ladies for all your opinions!!

kala_way, [name]Eve[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name] is so lovely!! As is [name]Eve[/name] [name]Julianne[/name] <3

ashthedreamer, I am very aware of the thoughts people have on Eve. Though I’m not religious, my family are Independent Fundamental Baptists and I grew up in church and christian schools. However, the stigma doesn’t bother me. I kind of look at is as people could find a negative person to associate any name to and it does have positive associations as well <3 I guess its also in the same way that Delilah is a lovely name yet it has less than pleasant biblical associations. David is mostly known for being good King David and a good shepherd boy who slew Goliath but people don’t remember him for committing adultery with Uriah’s wife then sending Uriah to the front lines of a war to be sure he’d be killed so he could have Bathsheba. Eva and Eve almost feel like the same name to me and we like both, but Eve seems to flow with his surname best.
Eve Caroline Jane is so lovely!!! I adore it!! I had Evie Caroline on my personal list before we got pregnant. However, my man hates Caroline but loves Carolyn? (silly, but whatever). I wish I could use Eve Caroline though <3 He loves Jane, but Eve Jane is too short. Eve Madeleine and Eve Penelope are also so lovely but too long :’( Our surname actually is similar to Mike Wazowski’s from Monsters Inc :slight_smile: Its a long polish name with an -owski ending haha. So its hard to pair anything more than two syllables with it!

jenn_warwick, Eve Celeste, Eve Katherine, and Eve Fiona are lovely!! I’m really liking Eve Celeste actually <3

heyitsme18, I like Evangeline but its far too long with our surname :frowning: Evelyn is alright, but it makes me think of Crabtree & Evelyn the english lotion store and John Evelyn the botanist who was part of the foundation to the name of the store lol! Sad I would know all this :’) Ava is incredibly popular, and honestly Eva is in the top 100 for my state! Along with Evelyn and Genevieve <3 Eve itself isn’t, but Eve and Eva are so close its really little difference :frowning:
It wouldn’t be a horrible offense by any means for someone to question whether I’m christian or not over the name lol. I’m not religious, but its such a beautiful name :slight_smile:

I prefer [name]Eva[/name] over [name]Eve[/name]. [name]Eve[/name] just seems incomplete to me. [name]Evie[/name] is an adorable Nickname though! Have you thought of using a longer name, ie. [name]Evangeline[/name], and shortening it to [name]Eva[/name]/[name]Evie[/name]? Here are some [name]Eva[/name] combinations I really like:

[name]Eva[/name] [name]Elaine[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Isabelle[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Magdalene[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Nicole[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Juliette[/name] (like your [name]Eve[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]) :smiley:

15

I love the names [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Eva[/name] (I slightly prefer [name]Eva[/name]). And [name]Evie[/name] is an adorable nickname. Possible middle names are:
[name]Salome[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name]
Wilomena/[name]Wilhelmina[/name]
[name]Xanthe[/name]
[name]Renee[/name]
[name]Sebrina[/name]

16

I love [name]Eve[/name]! Something about it’s simplicity makes it so beautiful, and I dare say, a little more exotic than [name]Eva[/name]. [name]Jane[/name] is the queen of the simple elegant names, but I feel that [name]Eve[/name] is so underused (where I live) and just enhances a little girl, rather than overpower her like some super frilly, feminine names can.

[name]Eve[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]

17

[name]Eve[/name] is one of my favorites. Te nn [name]Evie[/name] is adorable. I agree that a 3 syllable middle name seems to work best.

[name]Eve[/name] [name]Juniper[/name], [name]Eve[/name] [name]Gillian[/name], [name]Eve[/name] [name]Emily[/name], [name]Eve[/name] [name]Alexis[/name], [name]Eve[/name] [name]Marianne[/name]

I love [name]Eve[/name]! It’s so fresh. I don’t like [name]Eva[/name] as much, for some reason it feels a bit dated to me. [name]Evie[/name] is adorable as a nickname, and I always love [name]Juliet[/name], it’s one of my favorites. However I’m not so sure that [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] flow together so good. [name]Evie[/name] [name]Juliet[/name], for example would sound better in my opinion, but I don’t know if you think that’s too nicknamey for her first name.
Good luck! :slight_smile:

Ohh thanks berries!! :slight_smile: I like these suggested combo’s:
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Ariana[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Ariella[/name] / [name]Arielle[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Calista[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Isobel[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Lisette[/name]

[name]Eva[/name] [name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Wilhelmina[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Juniper[/name]

Thanks so much! He liked [name]Arielle[/name] and [name]Madeleine[/name] :slight_smile: I really like longer versions, but I can’t with our surname being really long the flow goes really badly off :frowning:

I appreciate all the opinions so much though!!

I’m in love with the name [name]Eve[/name]! I love [name]Eva[/name] too, but [name]Eve[/name] packs the most punch. It is pure understated class and beauty.
