Evlin. That's my sil. But I do know an
Ee-velin which I find quite odd. I was thought that was the male way

SemperIdem · 23/04/2018 22:38

Neither.

I’d pronounce it more like ehv-lin

Sorry that doesn’t make sense.y last post saying Eve lin doesn’t mean as in biblical first woman but rather as 3 soft sounds so e-v-e lin. If that makes sense.

I realise I’d written it the same as the way I’d said no to in my first post. Sorry.

Eeeve-lin

Ev-Lyn

LoveYouTimMinchin · 23/04/2018 22:36

Evlin = girl

Eeevlin = boy

Padfootprongs · 23/04/2018 22:36

Ever-lin

Randomname234 · 23/04/2018 22:36

Ev-uh-lin

'er-lin' sounds a bit weird, but that might just be my west country twang.

MyKingdomForBrie · 23/04/2018 22:35

Eve-lin for a boy

Ever-lin for a girl

FireplaceLover · 23/04/2018 22:35

Or possibly, Eve lin. Confused But def no ‘r’ in there. Smile

Winchester13 · 23/04/2018 22:35

Ever lin
It’s a really nice name

Dozer · 23/04/2018 22:35

I always get it mixed up!

RoundaboutSnail · 23/04/2018 22:35

Ev-lin.

ZeroFoxGiven · 23/04/2018 22:34

Ever Lin

FireplaceLover · 23/04/2018 22:34

Neither. I’d pronounce it, Ev-lin.
Eve lin sounds American to my ear.

Ever Lin
