As dh hates it and won't go for it Sad

It's Evander. Means 'good man', is from Roman mythology.

Could be Evan for short...

Since Evander Holyfield is the only example I could think of, then yes, it probably is that bad an association.

Would your DH accept Lysander as an alternative? Xmas Wink
Alexander is always good, of course..

Grin (don't forget he approved Skyler... and convinced me out of the 'proper' spelling...)

Evander is a great name! What's wrong with it? (apart from Evander Holyfield association of course, is that so bad?)
