Eva
Replies
It's lovely and fine as a full name. If you really want a longer form, Evelyn and Evangeline would work.
I don't find Eva (Ava) nicknamey at all (It may be, if the only "fuller" names are something like Maximillian, Giorgionetta and Alexandrina) - I don't really like it, but it's another simple, elegant and unpretentious name that will look beautiful on everyone.
(I like Yeva, Chava and Eve much more than Eva and Ava)
Here's what I got using the search for names, Ev*, feminine:

*Eva* feminine:
http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=*Eva*&name=yes&gender=f&usage=&operator=or
Av*, feminine:

*Ava*

Out of those, I like
Geneva
Evadne
Elisheva
Evelina (But I prefer the pet form Eve)
Avanti
Jaroslava, Bronislava
Avia, Aviva
Avigail
Avital
