I think Ava(Ay-vah) is more modern than Eva(ee-vah).

My pronunciation of this name would be based on how the family pronounced the name...that's what I would go by first. If I was unsure about that...I would pronounce it differently depending on the ethnicity of the individual...

For Anglo-Saxon or WASPs, I'd pronounce it EE-va.

For Hispanics or Italians, I'd pronounce it A-va.
