I know one, they mostly stick to her name, can't remember her nickname but I know it's not Evie.

Not many here but it is my DD!
Family call her Evie, we call her Evelyn. When she's older I quite like Vie as a nickname or there's a nice shortened version of her middle name.
But tbh her nickname will be whatever she prefers!

Just one here (east midlands). She’s my daughter’s friend, they’re in year 2. So 6/7 years old. Don’t think she has a nickname, she’s always Evelyn.

5, all over 50, all only go by full name.

I suppose Eve would be a shortened version, maybe Eva at a push?

One, back when I lived in Cambridgeshire. She’s about...33 now? And we called her Ev.

I have one who is 6. I know only one other who is about 2. My dd is the only Evelyn in her school. People shorten it to Evie sometimes but I don’t mind that.
I obviously think it’s a gorgeous name, we get lots of comments from people about what a lovely name it is too.

One 3 YO. It's lovely but it does get shortened to Ev-ie. (rather than Eve-ie).
