HelpRe: Eva!!!!!!!!!
in reply to a message by brandyleeeee
My name is Eva also and it is pronounced as such. When people call me Ava, I think to myself "Does this person know how to spell?" Eva is Eva and Ava is Ava. I was also named after my grandmother. I love the name. I hear it more often now, but it is still a rare name (which I love).

But, the only thing is, there is nothing in the name "Eva" to suggest that the E is pronounced long...
AY-va is how a spanish-speaking person would pronounce it naturally, and EEva is how an English person would normally pronounce it...but Ehva is acceptable, too...I peroannly think all pronounciations of it are pretty

I think you believe people are ignorant for pronouncing your name incorrectly, however Eva pronounced Ava is a legitimate pronunciation and should be seen as such, not ignorance. The Ava pronunciation of Eva is often seen in European countries (I believe it is Dutch). Eva can also be pronounced Ee-vuh, Ee-fuh, and Ev-uh.
