Default "Eevaa"

As far as I know, the Finnish language makes use of more than ten cases for nouns and proper names. The form "Eevaa" is the partitive case of the name Eeva, which is the most common Finnish equivalent to the names Eva, Eve etc. Thus rather "Aatami & Eeva" than "Aatami and Eevaa". The partitive case of the name Aatami –the Finnish equivalent to Adam – would be "Aatamia", accordingly.
