Names for Eva

I like the name Eva but I don't feel like it's a full name. What names can Eva be a nickname for?

Re: Names for Eva

  • Eva is a full name (just like Ella and Emma). If that's what you will call her, then i think that's what you should name her. FTR, my neice's name is Eva and I never thought of it as incomplete.

  • Eva is a great name on it's own.  If you intend to call her Eva, name her Eva.  (It will be my daughter's name so I LOVE it.)

    I love the name Eva, but I want a longer name. It has nothing to do with Eva not being a good name on it's own. It's just a personal preference. Looking for suggestions for longer names..
  • My friend's name is Evacuation (no joke). She goes by Eva. That would be interesting!

  • Evangeline or Evangelina 
  • I've heard Evangeline and Geneva. You could even do Genevieve. Just a thought.

    ETA: Also, Guinevere, Evelyn and Maeve (the last one being a bit of a stretch).

    Ok, but that's not what your OP says. PPs suggestions of Evangeline/a and Geneva/Geneveive are the only two that seem like legit names to be shortened to Eva IMO. A lot of the others have a short "eh" sound instead of "ee", so they wouldn't work.
