I recently descovered the name everly but found out it’s getting trendy
I do like most of the names ending in ‘verly’.
What’s your favourite?
Do you think these names will get very mainstream?

I’m just glad you’re not using all four together! Grin

Everley although I think I prefer it spelled Everly

Everly is best from this list.

Not sure about averly but I always loved Avery. Unfortunately it sounds really similar to the name of my work place so would have been weird to use it!

Everly from your list is my favourite

Everley is definitely becoming popular.. just like Evelyn is. Surprised people on this thread aren't hearing this name crop up for newborns. I know of at least 3 in the last year or so.

Everly- OK
Beverley - v dated
Waverley - Edinburgh train station!
Avaley - never come across this

None of them. Everley - makes me think of the Everley Brothers, 1950s American pop group. I have seen it mentioned quite a few times on baby name threads though.

Waverley - sound like a street name, not a child's name.

Beverley - very dated and always was quite chavvy even when popular. I think of the dreadful character Beverley in the famous 70s TV drama 'Abigail's Party'.

Averly - never heard of it but not keen.

I think you should use all four Grin
But if not then Everly is lovely, I considered it but my partner didn't want it

Personally I can’t see them becoming popular. I think you’re safe.

Wizards of Waverly Place would rule out Waverley for me, plus it sounds like a made up name from the word wave. Everley is honestly the best one as it sounds the most real I guess and is a lovely name. Beverley sounds a little wannabe-famous due to the Beverley Hills reference, kinda like naming a kid Hollywood. I’d stick to the original personally.

I wasn’t really bothered about it becoming popular and have never heard that’s it’s old fashioned and not cool 😂

WereYouHareWhenIWasFox · 11/12/2018 04:17

Will Everley ever be trendy? It is very old fashioned (not in a cool way)

MrsFoxPlus4 · 11/12/2018 04:11

I have an Everley she’s 1 :)
