HelpRe: Ava, Eva, or Éva
in reply to a message by nct.olson
No, it's not awful, it's fine if you're totally comfy with it. I wouldn't be, myself, because I only speak English and I'd feel silly, especially if anyone asked me what heritage it is from and I was like, uh, I dunno, it's legit somewhere though, I looked it up on the net... It's not "charming" to me, either - it's as you say, like Ava with an attempt made to set it apart from all the other Avas or seem "exotic." But it's pretty, not too complicating or distracting even for me. ;-) It's not "too exotic," so to speak.

I actually would be naming her after Éva Gabor, regardless of how we spell it. It is because of her that I have adored the name Ava since I was a teen. I think it would be fitting if we spelled it the way she did (which was Hungarian). So if anyone asked, obviously I would know that it's Hungarian and she is named after the old Hollywood actress.
