I love Eve, and Evie is adorable. I would not assume that her parents were religious.

I love Eve with the nn Evie, or in the mn position. I don't know anyone with the name, no. I don't think the parents of an Eve would have to be religious. There are plenty of Biblical names in use.

I adore it. Totally intend to use it one day.

A teacher at my school was called Eve. It was short for Evelyn.
I know another Eve - that's her full name I believe, and an Evie, who I think is really an Eva.
I prefer Eva - Eve could be the nn. Eve is a bit too short and sweet to suit my style, but I would consider it as a mn.

I love it!

It's my 2nd choice girl's name (but occasionally moves to #1), but it's been on my list for the longest. I really dislike Evie. Eva is all right, but is a completely different name to me. I like it, but I prefer Eve. To me, Eve is simple, peaceful, classic, elegant, and lovely.

---

I knew an Evie a couple years younger than I. Her full name was Evelyn, though. I don't think Eve is usually used as a nn.

---

I don't expect it will make a huge rise in popularity. I hope not! I only worry that the trend is moving from Ava to Eva and could move to Eve. But, I don't really expect it because the names seem quite different.

I like it. I used to prefer Eva, but I think I lean more towards Eve at the moment.
I don't think it necessarily religious, it's an English word too.

I love Eve, can't stand Evie. It destroys the whole beauty of the name in my opinion.

---

I don't know anyone called Eve and their parents wouldn't have to be religious at all. I have nothing to do with religion and I'd use the name.

---

I know an Evony that goes by Eve, other than that not. I doubt most Evangelines go by Eve, just because Evangeline is so extravagant and Eve so simplistic next to it.

---

I don't think it'll rise significantly. It's been pretty constantly in the 500-600s in the last few years and I think it'll stay there.

I love Eve! It's "short and sweet" but also a strong name.

---

I don't consider Eve to be a "religious" name and wouldn't have any expectations about the beliefs of the parents of an Eve.

---

I don't know anyone named Eve.

I could see it get more popular over time, although I couldn't guess just how popular (or not).

I think that Eve is a pretty name. I would use Evangeline or Evangelina just in case she decides at some point that she wants to go by a longer name. Personally, I think Eva is even prettier, but Eve (or even Yve, which could be short for Yvonne or Yvette, etc.) has a classy simplicity, like Jane. I have no idea whether or not it will rise in popularity. A lot of formely rare biblical names are catching up, but who knows? I doubt that in a classroom of kids there is going to be more than one Eve (or Eva or Evangeline or whatever.) That's another good reason to use Evangeline: if there ever was another Eve, she could just go by the long form. I don't actually know anyone by this name, but it's not unheard-of. Although I can see religious parents naming their daughters Eve, it's definitely not just limited to them, just like Matthews, Michaels, Sarahs, and Rebekahs aren't all religious.
:)

I like Eve. I like Eva better, but there is a nice simplicity to the name Eve.

---

I know a few Evas, but I don't think I've ever met an Eve. I don't think their parents would need to be religious though.

---

Some are probably Eve for short, but I think Evie is a more common nickname. It feels more nickname-ish.

---

I think as Eva gets popular, Eve will as well, but never to same extent as the longer forms.

I don't mind Eve though I much prefer Eva. I think Eve (to me) is too nicknamey.

I have known one Eve though her full name was actually Evelyn Jane.
