[Opinions] Re: Pronunciation question for Americans
Well, in a place where most people know Eva as Eeva, and where there isn't much of a Spanish-speaking population, that pronunciation would likely seem like an affectation, and if you really want that sound you'd be better off using Ava. Skip the messy middle step.
However, apparently back in the sixties, people did know that Eva Gabor's name was pronounced like Ava.
