Help[Opinions] Re: Ivy or Eve
in reply to a message by whattocalltoday
Ivy
PROS - easy to spell and pronounce
CONS - as mentioned, "poison ivy", hospital IV, Beyonce's daughter Blue Ivy ( I have a feeling she's going to be in show business and her name may be in the headlines in the coming years). Ivy is a vintage name that sounds a bit cutesy to me. I prefer Iris myself.
Eve
PROS - a short, sweet, simple choice. Nothing exciting but it's familiar and solid choice. Also, easy to spell and pronounce. I prefer Eva.
CONS - Wicked Eve of the Bible (eye roll from me. The woman is blamed for everything). The name makes me think about the film "All About Eve" starring Bette Davis. The movie is about an ambitious young fan who maneuvers herself into the aging Broadway actress' life (Bette's character), ultimately threatening her career and her personal relationships.
