I have an Evan whose brother is the name of the bloke who founded the NHS. But I did love Rowen too.

Same as Wenchelda the Evan I know has a brother called Owen. Another that I know has 2 sisters call Isla & Millie.

Wenchelda · 15/04/2017 21:52

I know of 2 Evan's ... one has a sister called Zoe, and the other a brother called Owen. Both of which I think go really well.

Stella is beautiful. And it sounds great with Evan.

My BIL is an Evan, so his brother (my DH) is a Christopher.

Oh I like Francesca and Fraser..

They're lovely 😍

Great suggestions everyone, some absolute crackers there and a few added to my lists

I dislike the trend of Hayden, Jayden, Kayden etc - nothing wrong with them, just not to my taste and they're very overused in NI. Oliver, Archie, Alfie, Charlie etc are lovely but very overused so looking something a bit more different but not ridiculous iyswim

Ahh my people have came to me 😍

Just looked up the different spellings of Alistair/Alastair

I also love Nathaniel..my mum rooted for it when I was pregnant, we liked "Luke" too - but the accent six miles up the road has it pronounced as "luck"

And Helene and Helena? I don't think they work with a Belfast accent 🙁 even though I love Helena Bonham Carter

Persephone is a beautiful name; but a Persephone around here is always gonna be Percy Phone 🙁

Jasper would be lovely! I like Sebastian too.

Hector is fab for a boy, or how about:

Alistair/Alastair
August
Otto
Miles
Nathaniel
Caspar
Lucian
Felix

For a girl, I actually love Persephone! Is that bad? Blush Maybe:

Violet/Viola
Isolde
Clara
Beatrix
Felicity
Juniper
Helena
Rhoswen

Rockaby · 15/04/2017 18:55

When I read your thread title, I instantly shouted Margot (in my head obviously Grin).

Maybe Caspar for a boy?

I love Hector - but that's my dad's nickname for Evan - he's a Classics teacher; he's rooting for Persephone for a girl 😂

I also love Dexter but that's a puppy name in my area..

I think my girls list is alright; one or two may end up kicked off along the way but fairly watertight list I reckon testofthehormones

I wanted Parker and Jasper for Evan; I'm pleased my husband vetoed Parker and I can't love Jasper this time around 😭

I love Stella, Vivienne, Wren and Sebastian- have you thought about:

Rosa
Celeste
Hector
Dexter
