EVA? Not Eve?
Just a quick follow up to the Russian topic. Before everyone got used to the name "Eva", there were many questions regarding why the name isn't "Eve" when it so obviously is representing Eve. It would actually be slightly odd if you didn't wonder that. Usually it should be "Adam", "Eve", and "The Snake", right? So why "Eva"? Is the game trying to be stylish and cool by using a different spelling? "Adam" and "Eva"? The reason is actually quite simple. Eva's identity is a spy of the KGB, so naturally her name must be in Russian, in accordance to her identity, or else it would be highly suspicious. In Russian, Adam and Eve is "Адам и Ева". Eva is Russian for Eve. That's it. There is nothing more to say. Oh, just a reminder, don't let it slip your mind, the "и", though meaning "and", is not pronounced "n", but is pronounced "i". 　　　Eva and her Triumph Bonneville T120. 2.14.07
