[Facts] Re: Pronounciation of Eva --Questions
I just wanted to add that there is no "correct" way to pronounce Eva as you can see. I grew up watching "Green Acres" reruns so I had always assumed Eva was pronounced AY-va (as in actress Eva Gabor who was born in Hungary).FYI, actress Susan Sarandon has a daughter named Eva (EH-va). Eva's father is Italian. Also, Evelyn is pronounced EE-ve-lyn in England, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.Anyway, no matter the pronunciation, Eva's gorgeous. Excellent choice.

Thanks to you for taking time to help me...YOu are right, Evelyn is EE-ve-lyn in some areas. I didn't realize Eva Amurri (Sarandon's daughter) is a EH-va as well. We love the name, it fits our pretty little one! Thank you!!
