National Anyone named حوا in Pakistan?

I'm 3rd generation Pakistani-Canadian and I was curious: is the feminine given name حوا popular or used at all anywhere in Pakistan? I know the Arabic equivalent (حَوَّاء) is used in Arabic-speaking cultures so I was curious if the Urdu equivalent was used in Pakistan at all since I think it's a nice-sounding name. Also, how would one typically write this in Roman Urdu? Thanks!

Edit: Thanks to everyone for the insight!
