Need Native Speakers' Opinion
| Wed, 06-14-2006 - 10:58am |
Hi everyone.
I need native speakers' opinion on the name Eve.
I've lived in US for many years, but not enough to be aware of all possible meanings and teasing potential - pop cutlure, old movies, jokes, whatever makes a name bad.
I would really appreciate your help.

The only thing I can think of is Adam and Eve, but unless you also have a son named Adam I really don't see her getting teased for that association, KWIM? The only movie I can think of with a character named Eve is Face Off (it's the wife's name ... nothing that anyone else would even remember I'm sure LOL), and as long as your ln isn't Vill/Ill or something like that (Eve Ill=evil) or perhaps an N. initial (Eve N.) I can't think of any other teasing potential. Seems pretty safe to me, and it's really a lovely name. ;)

I think Eve is a beautiful name. The only two things i can think of to help you would be 1) Adam & Eve as well as the negativity that goes along with Eve in the Bible
2) There is a women's "cleaning product" called summers eve
but kids can be cruel and they can think of something to say for ANY name.
i think that all in all Eve is a "safe" name
I thought of Summer's Eve also, but I seriously doubt most kids would think of. it.
Eve is a lovely name, and I can't think of any negative associations pertaining to it. Unless, as PP's mentioned, you have a son named Adam, I see no reason why not to use it. It's really a great choice.
HTH!
