Evelyn nn Evie in the UK?

Have always wanted Amelia but that seems off the charts. Evelyn has come to me now as a name instead.
Thanks

Also still contemplating Rosemund (Rosie) or Robyn

Thanks all, you have confirmed my suspicions and been very helpful

We have an Evelyn, Evleen and an Evelin DD’s nursery class of 22 children.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 25/03/2018 19:42

I’d forgotten to count the Aoife‘s. Yeah I know a few of them too!

Buxbaum · 25/03/2018 19:39

I don't think we know any Evelyns but I agree with PP that there are masses of Evas, Evies, Avas etc. My DD's class has two Evas (evva and eeva), an Ava and an Aoife.

BoredHorse · 25/03/2018 19:39

There are 3 in my DD's year alone (Y1) and I know of a few others so I think it's quite a popular name at the moment

Rockandrollwithit · 25/03/2018 19:37

I like both Rosalie and Rosalind if you wanted a variation on Rosamund.

ShowOfHands · 25/03/2018 19:34

Lots and lots of them round here. I was also beginning to think it was a new law that every other child had to be an Evie.

MikeUniformMike · 25/03/2018 19:30

Thinking about it, I don't know any Amelias but I know several Amelies and Emilias. If you love the name use it.

Luckyme2 · 25/03/2018 19:03

There's a few Evies, an Eve and an Evelyn in school with DD

JiltedJohnsJulie · 25/03/2018 19:02

Use it if you love it but for a few years I was beginning to think it was compulsory to name your DD Evie/Evelyn/Ava/Eve around here.

Arapaima · 25/03/2018 19:02

Very popular! Eve/Evie/Ava is everywhere at the moment.

Rosie and Robyn are lovely.

kaytee87 · 25/03/2018 19:00

Very popular but still lovely

What about Rosalie (Rosa/Rosie)?

Tumilnaughts · 25/03/2018 18:34

It's my DD's middle name. I love it!

feral · 25/03/2018 18:33

What about Edith nn Edie?

I only know one but loads of Evie!

Metalhead · 25/03/2018 18:20

Agree with pp, Evie’s are everywhere but I’ve never met an Amelia personally. We’re in the Southeast.

LoveInTokyo · 24/03/2018 13:28

Hugely popular. Amélie and Evie are like this generation’s equivalent of Sarah and Claire.

I like Rosamund - nn Rosa?

Sophronia · 24/03/2018 12:29

I love the name Rosamund

Mammyloveswine · 24/03/2018 12:01

I like Evie but there are lots! I love Esme... if i do have a girl i will use it! (I have two boys!).

MikeUniformMike · 24/03/2018 11:57

Eve, Evie, Eva, Ava, Evelyn...
Also pronunciation issue - Evlyn, Everlyn, Eevlin?

chezmk1988 · 24/03/2018 11:19

Not sure but it's on my list. I've never met an older or child Evelyn in my area.

KJE2017 · 24/03/2018 08:33

My DD is called Evie Grin

Fluffypurpleslipper · 24/03/2018 08:32

I hear it around.

Rosabel?

User27839494 · 24/03/2018 08:30

Evie is very popular and a lot of them are probably Evelyn on the birth certificate. Evelyn is currently ranked at 27 in the naming charts and Evie is 16th but Amelia is number 2! So Amelia is definitely more popular on the whole...the stats don’t lie!

Belindabauer · 24/03/2018 07:52

Very popular at the moment.

clairehr · 24/03/2018 07:49

I also know of more Evelyns and Evies than Amelias currently! Super popular!
