I know a Devin (girl). I like it.

It's a bit "American" for my taste. The used to be a woman called Devon in LA Law. I know a boy Devon but I can't say I'm keen. But if you lie it that's all that matters.

Not my taste.

I honestly love the name and sounds very cute. It works boys and girls and it flows well too.

I don't like it, but I'm in the camp that doesn't like place names.

Nothing different between baby Yorkshire and baby Devon in my head!

That being said, I suppose Devon is one of the most appropriate counties to name your child after!

Not my cup of tea but if you love it go for it
