I know it is way more complicated, but I prefer the Irish original spelling of Aoibheann.

Sorry, but to me, Eavan reminds me of "even".

I've loved this name since I studied Eavan Boland, an Irish poet, for my Leaving Certificate English. The first poet whose work I could actually understand (I hated poetry)!
My best friend's name is Eavan and she hates it because everyone always thinks she is a boy before they meet her. So she nicknamed herself "Eabie" which is cute, but now people think she is named "Annie" instead which halso makes her mad. Haha.
