Is this name really that bad

I’m vvv fussy w names.
First baby, a little girl. Due 16th September!
And the only name I adore, always have is Everly!
Everly Violet / Everly Rose / Everly Hope / Everly Lyla
Are all in the running, with Rose as mn being my favourite.
I think it’s so pretty, unusual but not ridiculous, or pretentious.
I like Ever or Ev as nn.
DP loves it too, as do the 2 friends I’ve told. Not gonna tell my mam and nan until she’s born as they are... v opinionated :)
So, did a quick google search of ‘Everly mumsnet’ and ummm, it seems 9/10 MNers hate it - despise it with passion in fact!
I am aware it is Beverly without B, Everly brothers etc... but is it rlly that bad?
And if it truly is horrific, any other suggestions?
I don’t like Evelyn. Prefer modern, unique names.
TIA

I don't like it but it's just not my taste. Me and my DP love unusual names but even he pulled a face when he heard the name Everly at our dd's tumble tots group!

It’s a surname isn’t it?

Nice enough - I did always like the Everley Brothers.

But there are a whole bunch of them on YouTube/Instagram Mommy Blogs. Mostly Mennonites, so fairly inoffensive (if you're religious) but there are lots - will you be having the almost obligatory Kaeden or Jaxon next?

If you like it then who cares what other people think? You can't please everyone. Smile
