The palindromic names Ava and Eve are similar, and there’s a reason for that: They’re related!
Ava is a form of Eve. Eve, in turn, is a transliteration of the Biblical name Chava (or Chavah), which is a form of the Hebrew word chayah, meaning “to live” or “living.”
If you were having a daughter, and you had to name her either Ava or Eve, which would it be? Why?
Definitely Eve. I’ve always liked its simplicity.
Plus, to me Ava is pronounced AH-vah, and I know that virtually no one else would pronounce it that way [also, Eva is AY-vah and Iva is EE-vah].
I would choose Eve.
Eve to me is classic, where Ava is more trendy, in my eyes.
Both are pretty names.
I think I would go for Ava. At one point it time, I was going by the name of Eve (can’t for the life of me remember why!) around friends and it would just be a bit strange to me. Maybe if it was short for Evangeline… but between Ava and Eve, it would probably be Ava.
I’d love to choose Eve. I do love the name. But I have a son named Adam.
Ava, since it’s not the first syllable of evil.
Try Aoife which is a very popular Irish version of the namea. Its pronounced Eafa.
Ava, since…well…it’s my name. I like it. And I was born before it became so “trendy”, so it doesn’t feel that way to me.
My name is ava.
Eve, because that is my name! (Well Evelyn but still!) :)
