Evan

I am thinking about using this name for my son, I love its simplicity and the fact that it's not too common. My other options are Matthew (but not keen on Matt) or Thomas (don't love Tom). The middle name will be James. Can I get your thoughts on the name, is it likely to date? What do you imagine an Evan to be like? tia.

Good name.
Reminds me of the guy on news night but he’s not sufficiently famous to make that an issue and he’s pretty cool anyway

Evan James is a fantastic name.

I don't know any and think it's lovely.

I love it & much prefer it to Matthew & Thomas. Evan James sounds lovely. I know 2 little Evans. One is a baby & the other is an adorable, dark curly haired little 3 year old.

I like Evan James, very nice.

I think it's lovely, really strong name! And the only famous Evan I can think of is Evan Dando and he is really cool :) our son who's 3 is called Ewan, similar and we get lots of compliments on it, we loved that it was a bit different but not too out there. Good luck deciding x
