Evelyn?

Just curious as I would pronounce it
Eve - Lynn but when I was chatting to DM about girls names she said she would pronounce it Ev - Lynn.

So wise mumsnetters, who is correct??Smile

DH loved it. I vetoed it because I can't get past Evil Lynn.

We had a DS.

I work with an Ev-elyn. She says it's split 50/50 on how people pronounce it and says that she grew not to mind as it was easier than correcting every other person.

Yes or Everlynn

I heard a mum say it Eve-Lin the other day and it didn't sound right. I would say Ev-Lyn
