Depends on who you are.

Anything other than AY-va for Eva is off to me. It's one of those names that I think people are better off keeping an open mind about given how many ways it can go.

Same, and I live in AL

I've known two Eva's, and both are European. One pronounces it like Ave-a and one Eeva. Ave-a has always seemed more correct to me, because that's how it would be said in Spanish (I don't know why this makes it seem more correct, but it does). So.
