Would you pronounce Eva "eeee-vah"? Would you pronunce Eva "a-vah"? Or would you prounce Eva "eh-vah"?
We are concerned that everyone will mispronounce the name. Thanks!!

I think in America, it's pronounced "eeee-vah."
In Spanish, it's pronounced "ay-vah."

I work with an Eva - short for Evangaline. She goes by "eeee-vah", and once in a while people pernounce it wrong as "a-vah". If it's "a-vah" you are going for, I've seen it spelled as Ava. I would suggest spelling her name as close to pernounciation as possible. I'm constantly correcting strangers on how to say my name - and it's a very common name that my mom threw just one extra letter in to make it different and people always get it wrong.

Eeee-vah. The name's pretty common in the States, actually.

Eeee-vah, but if it's not working for you there are millions of names out there to choose from!
