Name Pronunciation

[octobre09.livejournal.com]

I 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)?

oh and also i think Eva pronounced eh-va with Clea makes me want to say ay-va clay-ah wayy too matchy and it's hard to say eh-va with it, for me.
