I love all of these.
I like Evelyn and Maeve as full names.
Maeve is really nice. Evelyn is the go-to in theory but I prefer EHV-uh-lin and EE-vee, which seem incompatible.
They’re not incompatible. Plenty of Evelyns go by Evie.
I love Eve.
Evelina and Genevieve! Yay!Guinevere is a great one, although my favorite nn for Guinevere right now is Winnie.Maeve and Yvelise are great ideas. Especially Yvelise, I love that.
Winnie is adorable as a nickname for Guinevere.
Evandra
Evaine
Evanna

I love these, they are so unexpected. Evanna is a gem. Evanine is fascinating.
Everild is so ugly, I love it! Do you know how it's pronounced?
['ɛv.ər.ɪld] - that's how I pronounce it, no idea what is the right way.
Only Eva and Evelyn.
Eva is so wonderful.
I love it too: it was my late aunt's name, and she and I always got on very well.

Yvette is a good idea, I've never considered that before!I love Eva and Eve; Evangeline is pretty, too. I like Evelyn a lot, but I prefer the pronunciation EHV-uh-lin to EEV-lin, while I prefer Evie as EE-vee rather than EHV-ee, and the two preferences seem incompatible.
I think Evelyn nn Evie would still work, the pronunciation difference would still work for a nn
