Eva is really nice. Maybe you could just use Eve?

Sequoia - i haven't heard of some of those Polish names..thanks. Heaps of our Polish friends are Ania!!
Snugglebean - The pronounciation is Ka see a.
Thanks for your repliese evreryone
Eva is sooooooo pretty just teach DH to say it right!! you need a choice on 1 childs name!!
I like Kasia as well as Eva.
Actually when I first read Kasia I thoght it was Kai See A
I think if you have been thinking this name all along then you should just go with it regardless BUT in saying that you may have this name picked out but when you see bubbie another name might just spring into your head "She looks like a ....."
Best of luck deciding
This may sound kinda strange, but if you just can't agree, perhaps you can each accept to pronounce it how you each like it? My DH prefers the short version of a girls name that I like, and wants to call her that. I am insisting that her name be the long version, but that he can just call her the short version, which will no doubt be her nickname anyway -iykwim?
Chances are most people would just call her Eva (pronounced EEva) anyway - as that is how we pronounce the name in this country! But at home she will get Ever from her Dad....?
Another thought - find out if there is a movie with a really beautiful woman named Eva (pronounced EEva of course) in it. The positive association between 'EEva' and 'beautiful woman' may then just be enough to make him go, "Mmmm, maybe I can accept that..."
LOL.....
Names suck, don't they? Why can't they just accept that as we have to push the baby out of our ......... or get it cut out of our stomachs, we get the final say???!!!![]()
There's a little girl at my mothers group named Ever (spelt and pronounced that way). I thought it was weird to start with but it's kind of grown on me and I quite like it now.
I don't think it's the end of the world if you and DH pronounce it differently. My little boy is Elijah - DH pronounces it with a hard J and I say it with a soft J - hardly anyone notices.
Eva gets my vote... Kasia is nice but Eva is nicer...
