babynamesI was just curious as to how most of you pronounce the name, Eva. Do you say "Ee-va" or "Ay-va" or "Eh-va"?
I know all are accepted pronunciations and I absolutely love the name but I pronounce it in French, which sounds more like "Eh-va", although "Ay-va" is close enough. "Ee-va" however I'm not too fond of...We do presently live in an area where English is the main language so I'm curious as to how the majority pronounce it. I don't want to spell it Ava because it wouldn't sound right in French.

And while we're at it, what do you think of the name as a sib-set for Cléa (Clay-ah)?
