If i recall correctly, Karan said 'Shion' was chosen by her son's father... "The only thing he left in her hands was her newborn baby. 'Shion' was a name that the man had given to his son. It was his last and only gift to her." (from chapter 9).
I've this idea in my mind that Eve was Nezumi's mother name... the old woman who took him escaping from the burning forest knew her, but after escaping Mao's massacre, the woman started to treat Nezumi cruelly. I think she blamed him to be a burden incapable to provide for his own food, and maybe tried to send him begging on the streets. Nezumi, then, remained fascinated by some street performers, maybe they even asked him to make an appearance for a show/play (putting him a wig on), than when the old woman went searching for him, she found him in the play and seeing him with long hairs she called him Eve-sama (i image Nezumi's mother would be addressed with sama though her role of 'songstress'). And maybe Nezumi learned how to read from the street performers, since i don't think a 4 years old was already able to read and the old woman didn't seemed so prone to teaching him something at all....
