Re: Eve

Susannah Eve is very pretty indeed, and Eve Susannah would be too.
I think it's fine. People get named Lilith and Delilah, after all! I've known several Eve people, and they've all been as well adjusted as anyone else.
I had an aunt named Eva. Once, on one of my brave days, I asked my grandmother how they'd arrived at the name and she explained that Eva was their first child, so it seemed appropriate, and they also liked the fact that it didn't shorten to anything - she and my granddad both went by nns. At that point, my aunt came into the room and offered us tea. Without blinking, my gran said "Ooh yes, thank you, Eve". Heroically, I didn't laugh. But I'm certain she was never Evie!
