When referring to EVE the game I'd go all caps. When referring to the in-game entity - the cluster - I'd go for Eve every time. For me, when you see "EVE" in a chronicle or the novels, it breaks the fourth wall.
That's just me.

I was under the impression that EVE stands for
Everyone vs. Everyone...
now its just a matter of figuring out if the Vs. should be capital :-P

I always thought it was EvE (lowercase v), for the reasons above - that it stands for Everyone vs Everyone

EVE online.
short for "Everyone Versus Everyone Online"
Was this abreviation intended when they named it? Or did it just come up after? I can find nothing that suggests whether or not ccp intended that abreviation.

Correct me if I'm wrong but EVE should never even be mentioned in the lore. Basically New Eden should be used where applicable.
IIRC, EVE the game was named after a person named Eve, possibly someone's kid. But this is based on old memories and doesn't seem to be mentioned on wikipedia.
EvE is a clever abbreviation but only a coincidence. If you think about it, there's only one "environment", so the concept of environment vs. environment makes no sense.

It is in fact EVE, both out of game and in-game.
Out of game: see merchandise, marketing, your launcher icon, dev blogs, CCP posts, etc. etc.
In game: quoting http://www.eveonline.com/background/jump/jump_01.asp
Quote:
By studying the layout of the jump gate remnants, a curious pattern emerges. The jump gates snake out like a spider-web from a central point. And what is the central point? It is the system known to Amarrians, who first found it, as æImlau EmanÆ, or the æMouth of GodÆ, but is today better known as EVE.
The EVE system is an enigma that is still very much a mystery to us. The system itself is not that impressive û just some space debris and a few asteroid belts orbiting a pale white dwarf. But at the outskirts of the system is a phenomenon that has puzzled us for centuries. At the center of this phenomenon lies a huge structure, obviously built by some advanced civilization eons ago. The structure looks very much like a jump gate, except it is many times bigger than any space structure of ours. The gate is fairly plain all around, but there are markings here and there, in some ancient language that has not been fully decrypted. At the top, the largest of these markings is a three-letter word that says EVE. There isnÆt full agreement among scholars about the meaning of this word, but most people regard it to be simply the name of the gate.
Now, every indication points to this being the gate that our forefathers used to enter this world, but despite massive studies on the gate and the EVE system in whole, we still havenÆt uncovered what happened to the gate all these millenniums ago.
Extremely bright and powerful electromagnetic turbulence emits from the EVE gate, as it is commonly called. This turbulence seems to originate from within the gate, so it is believed that the gate is actually open and the electromagnetic storms are coming through from wherever the gate is linked to.

Well lore wise the word EVE is etched on the gate to New Eden, hence the EVE gate...

I like to think the markings say 'Out of order'
