How would you pronounce...

[Rockinghorse123]

Evelyn?

Just curious as I would pronounce it
Eve - Lynn but when I was chatting to DM about girls names she said she would pronounce it Ev - Lynn.

So wise mumsnetters, who is correct??

[MuttonCadet]

Eve-Lynn

[Hassled]

Eve-Lin

[ourglass]

I heard a mum say it Eve-Lin the other day and it didn't sound right. I would say Ev-Lyn

[Artandco]

Ev-a-lyn

[HainaultViaNewburyPark]

My DD is Evelyn - we pronounce it Ever-lynn
she insists her 'real' name is Evie

[ourglass]

Yes or Everlynn

[DurhamDurham]

I work with an Ev-elyn. She says it's split 50/50 on how people pronounce it and says that she grew not to mind as it was easier than correcting every other person.

[suboptimal]

Ever-linn

Or

Ee-v-linn

[SoupDragon]

Ever Lin.

Unless told it was something else.

[RedToothBrush]

DH loved it. I vetoed it because I can't get past Evil Lynn.

We had a DS.

[SunnyBaudelaire]

eever lynn

[ChippingInLatteLover]

Ev eh lyn

[ChippingInLatteLover]

But I'd call her Evie

[AngryBeaver]

Ever Lynne

[Sophronia]

Ev-uh-lyn

[GlitzAndGigglesx]

I pronounce it Ev-lynn

[isthisjustfantasy]

Eve-uh-lin

[LovethenameDaphne]

Ev - uh - lyn

[treaclesoda]

I would pronounce is Ev-lynn, or Ev-e-lynn. But not Eve-lynn.

[squoosh]

Evva-lynn

[Archer26]

This is the girls name we have chosen for our baby due in april. I've always pronounced it eve-lin but when discussing with friends the other day a few pronounced it ever-lin. I think it is personal preference really. Eve-lin for me

[MaraThonbar]

Your DM is right. Ev-lynn for a girl. Pronounced Eve-lynn, it's a boys' name.

[RockAFellaRock]

Ev-elyn

[tassisssss]

Can I guess that it's only English people who add the R?!

I'd say Ev-Lin

(I'm Scottish)

[Tisiphone]

Isn't EV-Lin the female version and EEV-Lin the male, as in E. Waugh?
