I only know how to pronounce it as I'm a massive Chelsea fan and our old player/manager is a fella called Roberto Di Matteo. Absolutely lovely name

Rufus doesn't look complete to me. Like it should be Rufustus 😂 also "roofies" is another name for Rohypnol

Disclaimer: I do not mean to be rude about any names and I really apologise if I offend anyone, never my intention

DS1 is Evan. DS2 is on the way and I've decided on Mateo but also considered Idris, Hector, Nathaniel, Asher and Henry.

On my girls list was Daphne, Margot, Astrid, Meredith, Diana and Clara.

I'm not Welsh, I'm from Northern Ireland

SirVixofVixHall · 15/04/2017 22:37

Are you Welsh? I can't imagine anyone English using Evan, so I'm confused by the lack of Welsh girls names. If you are Welsh, then Eleri, Sara, Lowri, Catrin, Megan ?

My closest friend is Jade so there's zero chance of that, even though I'm fond of the name as she's so lovely 😍

Lots of Evans about - Michael isn't for me, I'm afraid. It's in the Andrew/Mark/Stephen/Ryan/Matthew/Christopher category for me - all perfectly acceptable but all were in my class at school in the 90s

I'm still hoping someone comes through with an upgrade on Rudolph 😂

mimishimmi · 15/04/2017 22:25

I have a brother Evan. My other brother's name is Michael and my name is Miriam. I wouldn't recommend mine...

Okay inspire me -

Rudy?

Although I think I need a longer name that isn't Rudolph? 😂

That was supposed to be "Nathaniel" not Nathan (although I guess he'd get Nathan by his teenage years)

Great list Sophronia

I don't love the name Evan. I mean obviously I like it, and it suits my little boy down to the ground - but I do find myself getting sad sometimes when I overthink it..so I must love this new name

My list - which DH hasn't looked at yet, now consists of -

Sebastian
Rafael
Miles
Nathan
Fraser

And I don't love any of them 😭 maybe Sebastian..

SuperBeagle · 15/04/2017 22:08

I know an Evan with a brother named Henry. Smile

Chillywhippet · 15/04/2017 22:06

If DD had been a boy she would have been Evan Tudor
