Has a sister, Eliza, and love the names Fraser and Evan. Which would work better? And is Evan a bit more popular? Toughest decision as both seem nice. Think Fraser is a mouthful next to Eliza, so shall we play it safe? Sorry, this will be my last!!!

I prefer Evan but I knew a bit of an arsehole called Fraser and love Evan Dando. 😄

I like Fraser, it sounds ok with Eliza. You'd rarely say them next to each other, more like "this is Eliza and this is Fraser", see, perfect! Evan seems a bit bland in comparison to both names above

Yes, that's what I thought. Evan does seem bland of the two. Thanks everybody!

I like Fraser but both names end with a 'zuh' sound (if that matters)

I don’t think either go with Eliza.
Fra-za
Eli-za

Or two kids with the same initial / surname

Fraser is horrific!

Evan.

I like Evan and only know one. I don’t know why it’s not more popular. Not keen on Fraser.

Those who dont like the names...do you have any nicer suggestions to go with Eliza that are very uncommon but match? Thank you!

They're both quite awful IMO but each to their own. If I had to choose I'd go with Fraser because Evan is just terrible!

I like them both, but prefer Fraser. I like Frazer (that spelling) better though.
Other suggestions - Fergus, Angus, Ewan, Malachi, Giles
