I love this name! A character in a book was named Elva. So it reminds me of a crazy little girl with a short bob and a very sassy attitude. :) I'd totally name one of my kids this.
I don't think it's old-fashioned sounding, and so what if it was? It's better than the modern crap people are naming their kids these days. Use this name if you like it- although I definitely prefer Alva.

I think this name is cute, my grandmother's first name is Elva-Jean. It reminds me of little elves and fairies and the like.

This name -- Elva -- really is old-fashioned. Don't use it -- it has two bad associations.
