Writers like to use the names Adam and/or Eve symbolically. Maybe they're the first of their kind, or the last; maybe they are the definitive uber-example of whatever it is they are; maybe they represent some kind of genesis or important change; or maybe it's not entirely clear what the symbolism is meant to be. Some of these Adams and Eves may need to watch out for snakes. In Hebrew, the names mean "From the Ground" (or "man") and "living"/"life," respectively. Note that such naming may occasionally be coincidental; "Adam" is still a relativity common English-language name, though "Eve" is less so (which gets inverted in Spanish-speaking countrites, where "Eva" is a common name while "Adán" is actually almost unheard of). Variations also count (e.g. Andrew/Andreas and Zoe, which are the Greek equivalents of the Hebrew names Adam and Eve). See also Adam and Eve Plot and Name of Cain. May be the Original Man. |

Defied in Penny Dreadful, where Frankenstein briefly considers naming his creation "Adam", then discards the idea in favor of letting the creature choose its own name randomly from a book. This is a reference to the fact that Mary Shelley would call the creature from Frankenstein "Adam". | |

In Fiddler on the Roof and its source books, Tevye's third daughter is named Chava, the Hebrew equivalent of "Eve." Like her Biblical namesake, she chooses a Forbidden Fruit (in this case a Christian husband) and is cast out from the family like Adam and Eve from Eden. | |

Empire from the Ashes: The Achuultani appear to be a One-Gender Race that reproduces via cloning. The evil A.I. running their society wants it that way. Later in the series, Imperial geneticists crack the Achuultani version of DNA and clone a female Achuultani. She doesn't get an Achuultani name, instead she's named Eve. | |

A weird example: in the second year of the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) comic book, a one-shot villain called E.V.E. (Exceptionally Versatile Evolvanoid) was introduced. Created by Dr. Robotnik, E.V.E. was shape-shifting mass of what basically amounted to nanomachines, and there was little to suggest that the name was chosen by Dr. R with the biblical character in mind...until several years later, when Dr. Eggman came up with a mostly unrelated artificial intelligence called A.D.A.M. | |

Rocketship Voyager. In Captain Janeway's backstory, a Spacefleet captain goes mad and tries to establish a human colony on Mercury using his female crewmembers as a Baby Factory. This causes a mutiny which is kicked off by a crewmember called Eve throwing a red globe of firefighting powder at an officer called Adams. | |

Kyle XY has Adam Baylin, the member of the first generation created by a breeding program to create super-smart people. His female counterpart's name, however, is Sarah. The organization was trying with everyone they had the chance to name, though. Their do-over after Adam was called Noah (this was Kyle's original name); when that got screwed up, they sent in Jessie to turn things back in their favor. | |

The original comic Wanted - which is populated by Captains Ersatz of the villains (and to a lesser extent heroes) of The DCU instead of the assassins' guild of the movie based on it - has Adam-One, the oldest man on Earth, a Captain Ersatz of Vandal Savage (an ancient, immortal caveman in the DCU). His name is obviously meant to imply that he's the first human being and possibly the Biblical Adam himself. | |

Supernatural has both an Adam and an Eve, though the two have nothing to do with each other. Sam and Dean have a half-brother named Adam Milligan, who is introduced in season 4 and later becomes a makeshift vessel for the Archangel Michael in season 5. Season 6 gives us the Mother of All Monsters, who calls herself Eve. Given that she claims to be even older than angels, it's more than likely just an ironic alias rather than the actual Eve. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Seeds of Life, more commonly (and erroneously, including In-Universe) known as the First and Second "Angels", are named "Adam" and "Lilith" respectively. Additionally, the Evangelion mechs are usually referred to with the shortened designation "Eva", a variation of "Eve". As the majority of known Eva were apparently cloned from Adam, this invokes the myth of Eve's creation from Adam's rib. In Jewish legend, Lilith was the first woman, created from the same earth as Adam. Lilith refused to be subservient to Adam and chose to depart the Garden to find her own path. The Seeds of Life had a similar existence, apparently created by the same power and sent to create life but refusing or unable to do so together. Whenever a planet is colonized by Adam and Lilith, either one of them will have to voluntarily shut itself down to prevent catastrophic destruction of the planet. However, the history then veers away from myth when it is revealed that Adam was the one who entered dormancy on Earth, and thus, all humans (also known as the "Lilin") originated from Lilith. |

Eve of Man: Eve is the first girl born in 50 years. note also a title pun, as "eve" is an archaic abbreviation of the word "evening". In Judeo-Christian tradition, festivals start on the evening before the appropriate day. So the "eve" of something has come to mean the beginning of it or the lead-up to it, colloquially. | |

In Mass Effect 3, one mission has you rescuing a fertile krogan female in order to help cure the genophage. Since she's a shaman, she refuses to reveal her real name, so Mordin dubs her "Eve," precisely because of the symbolism: because her DNA will be used in the cure, she will be the "mother" of all post-genophage krogan. He says he chose a figure from human mythology because they happened to be on a human ship at the time. | |

18if has its Big Bad named Eve, who apparently is the dreamer of reality itself that must not be woken up at any cost. It turns out she's actually that Eve, and she dreamed up Haruto's world out of resentment for the treatment she got in her own and grief that she doomed all humans after her to suffer. One of the main characters is named Lily, and she takes pleasure in learning about the people the Dream World took in. She turns out to have a double-whammy in her name: Not only is she the Literal Split Personality of Eve (thus making her name a biblical reference in hindsight), She's also the Anthropomorphic Personification of her youth and innocence before she ate the Fruit (invoking the "purity" angle of lillies). | |

In Girl Genius, the promethean constructs Punch and Judy live as regular people under the names Adam and Lilith Clay. In this case, every part of both names are significant. Lilith was traditionally (in Apocrypha) the first woman, and made from clay like Adam, instead of from Adam himself. This makes the two constructs equal to each other. | |

In Blast from the Past, the lead character goes out into the world after living his entire life in a bomb shelter. He is named Adam, and his love interest is named Eve. The Mother even notes, "I hope that's not sacrilegious." The Father reassures her, "No, it's perfect." | |

WALL•E: After centuries of solitude, WALL•E meets a fellow robot; she is named EVE. The symbolism is doubled when we realize that she represents a new start on Earth for the human race. Also, she looks vaguely like a dove and returns to an "ark" of survivors carrying a plant. Word of God even notes the ironic symbolism: she brings the plant that will redeem mankind instead of ruining it. | |

Dark (2017) has Adam, Jonas' older self, and Eva, the alternate Martha's older self. Neither bears much resemblance to the biblical characters, but a painting in Erit Lux's headquarters shows the original couple. Both names were assumed, perhaps inspired by the painting. Those two characters' plot function as the source of so much evil ties into the series' use of Gnostic imagery. Furthermore, similarly to how the biblical characters were the ancestors of all of humanity, Adam and Eva's child is the ancestor of much of the family tree in both worlds (as well as Adam and Eva's own ancestor). Their influence on the loop also means that even the characters who aren't their direct descendants exist because to them. | |

In Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, The Antichrist is named Adam by his human father. The idea is that the boy is neither intrinsically good nor intrinsically evil, just intrinsically human. Note that this was a last option by the Satanic nun who was advising them on names; she went through Damian, Wormwood, Cain, and who knows how many other Names to Run Away from Really Fast. Each was rejected by the parents. The child a more competent nun thought was the Antichrist ends up being named Warlock. | |

The last human on Earth in the Japan Animator Expo short Kanón was named Adam. Fitting his namesake, he eventually makes an Eve and a Lilith and their story mostly plays out the same. The short ends up not being about them (as the girls exit the plot rather early), but about the feud between him and another male he created named Ego. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has EVA and Revolver Ocelot as ADAM. There's a Snake, too. It gets much better in the epilogue of the game, when it is revealed that EVA was in fact a Chinese spy who ran into him in the forest. When Snake asks if she is the ADAM he's looking for and tells her that his code name is Snake, she goes with it and says her codename is EVA. This is precisely the code name of ADAMs partner, so Snake no longer questions her about not knowing the password. | |

Eva: The protagonist's full name is Eva Adamson; the plot was originally about a girl who time-travels to meet various "first women", and was familiar with apes. While the final plot of the book is very different, remnants of this symbolism remain. Early on, Eva watches a cartoon called Adam and Eve, which is very loosely based on the book of Genesis. Just like how Eve was the first woman and lived in a natural paradise, Eva is the first human-in-chimpanzee, and her ultimate purpose is to guide a troop of chimpanzees in one of the last wild places on Earth. | |
