Why is Evey's name so fitting to V?
In the first meeting of V and Evey in V for Vendetta, V finds Evey's name very fitting. Why?
It's not evident from the dialogue:
V: But to whom, may I ask, am I speaking?
E: I'm Evey.
V: Evey? E. V. Of course you are.
E: What does that mean?
V: It means that I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.
Best Answer
There is a lot of symbolism in V for Vendetta. V states that he does not believe in coincidence because symbolically Evey is V. And we are V as well. This is why everyone is wearing the same face, the same mask of V. Because we are V, we are one.
There are subtle hints to this throughout the film for example in the opening scene Evey and V 'mirror' each other. Both characters are doing the same things: Applying their ‘face’, watching TV and putting on their costume.

No cellular anomalies, nothing". His confidante Evey Hammond speculates in the comic that V might be her own father, who was arrested years before as a political prisoner; V denies it, however, and Moore has confirmed that V is not Evey's father.Why did V do that to Evey?
The whole thing was an elaborate hoax orchestrated by V, who tormented Evey in what he describes as an effort to teach her how to live without fear. In the original comic, this nasty twist is the logical culmination of V's character.What does V stand for in V for Vendetta?
V's name is derived from the Roman numeral for five, representing the room number where he stayed when he was imprisoned in a resettlement camp and subjected to medical experiments.

Answer 2
Take this hint and listen to the movie again. V is 5 in roman numbers. E is the fifth letter of the alphabet. 5th of november. 55 V words in the classic monologue. Techaikowski. A lot of fun stuff to analyse ;)
Answer 3
e can be used for the french verb "essere" which translates to "to be" so "e-vey" ="to be V" or simply "being V". Because we are all the same.
Answer 4
I think the answer is a little more subtle. V is fond of Latin phrases and speaks a few lines in the movie. The phonetic pronunciation of Evey's name is 'E V' In Latin, E means 'from'. Her name, in Latin using only the phonetic pronunciation, literally means 'From V."
Answer 5
If you pay attention to the last part when she asked the detective after he let her send the train "tell me detective, you like music?" just like V had asked her after she just told V her name..so as madmada said V thinks of her as next V or another V when she said her name Evey — I V
