What do we think of Evander?

[snugasapuginarug]

Other than the boxer I've never heard of another?

[Deadsouls]

It sounds quite nice but would just remind me of the boxer

[snugasapuginarug]

Deadsouls- my friend had called her baby Evander and her MIL has expressed her displeasure of the name 😬 it's caused a bit of a stir!

[MyNewBearTotoro]

I’ve never heard the name before (not heard of the boxer) but I quite like it; unusual but easy to spell/ pronounce.

[snugasapuginarug]

Mybear thank you 😊 I can't say I'm very keen on it but not my baby 🤷🏻‍♀️

[DramaAlpaca]

It sounds like something out of Harry Potter.

I like Evan, but not Evander.

[snugasapuginarug]

I absolutely adore HP Drama, it does sound like Olivander! My friend is very "out there" and a bit of a hippy, she was always going to call her babies something a bit different. I'm not sure we'll be allowed to shorted to Evan though.

[DramaAlpaca]

That's it, Ollivander!

[SleepWarrior]

I rather like it (although not enough to use it myself). Just wait until he starts school, it'll get shortened then in all likelihood.

[slipperywhensparticus]

I like it actually and I didn't associate it with the boxer either

[tweedler]

I just thought of pomander.

I'm not keen

[Potatobug]

Beautiful name

[Wheresthebiffer2]

how about Alexander

[pregnantncnc]

I like it.

I'd not heard of it before and it sounds fairly normal to me. That being said, we had a Lysander (and a few other unusually named babies) born into our NCT group recently so perhaps I've become used to slightly more "out there" names (which isn't helping us name our own son!).

[Thislittlepiggywentto]

I know one weirdly... and dislike it strongly!

[LivingDeadGirlUK]

Its a character name in Katherine Kerr's Devery series, think he was an elf. I like the name though :)

[user1493494961]

The boxer.

[bridgetreilly]

Holyfield.

I don't like it.

[AlpacaGoodnight]

I like it!

[emilybrontescorsett]

The boxer for me too.
Didn't he get his ear bitten off by Mike Tyson?
