I’m really digging [name_f]Eve[/name_f] lately but I worry that it’s not a full name on its own. Should I just stick with [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or go for something like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Eveline[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] etc ?
What are your opinions on having two names as a child’s first name ex:[name_f]Mary[/name_f] kate, [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] etc ? Would it work for any names or is it only for [name_f]Mary[/name_f] based names? [name_u]Jean[/name_u] would be the second name and mn of [name_f]Marie[/name_f]( family names)if I went with this idea. I also like the idea of the child being able to choose if she wants to go by both names or just one. What do you think?
What about:
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
Too cutesy/southern sounding ?
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] is definitely a full name, and a pretty one at that. It’s been used forever, so no one would really expect it to be a nickname anyway.
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] work really nicely. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and [name_u]Jean[/name_u] have the same sound and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]'s -ee doesn’t lead into [name_u]Jean[/name_u] as nicely as the -a names
I like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] best on it’s own. It’s such a sweet name with so much history, no need to bog it down with extra syllables.
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] is one of the few “mini-names” that I think is perfectly fine on its own. I don’t even like, say, [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f] as full names, but [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is fine. I do think of [name_m]Adam[/name_m] and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eve[/name_f] seems silly to me, they’re practically the same name! Only one letter and syllable different. [name_f]Eva[/name_f] is so short anyway that it doesn’t need a nickname.
More suggestions for full names if you want one:
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Geneva[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Zivanka[/name_f] (zhee-vaw-nkah- a stretch, but it kind of has the “eve” sound)
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] is a complete name to me. It’s like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], or [name_f]Rose[/name_f], it’s “naturally short” not a nickname for anything. There are some three letter names that stand alone fine for me: [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], etc.
[name_f]Evie[/name_f] isn’t, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is adorable but I like it as a NN for [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f].
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] are names I do not like very much in any case, and also don’t make much sense to me as “long forms” for [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] isn’t a long E sound and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] is no more a “real” name than [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is so I don’t see the point.
I must admit I hate [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and am only middling on [name_f]Eva[/name_f], and like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] the best of the family.
If you love [name_f]Eve[/name_f], then use [name_f]Eve[/name_f] on its own. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is definitely a full name.
Go with whatever your heart warms to most…[name_f]Eve[/name_f] is very pretty on its own or with another name
