What do you think of Everly for a girl?
Heard it some time ago and really struggling to find girls name to go with sibling Noah.
What do you think? Particularly like Everly Rose. Would call her Everly Rose on a day to day basis but not hyphenated it.
Thanks.

No sorry. Looks made up and I think it will date.

How do you know OP is in the UK? Internet is accessible all around the world. I'm not in the UK (not in the US either) and I know an Everly, most people think it's a lovely name.

FGS calm down.

It's a mainly British site, so generally posters using British English get taken for Brits.

You have no idea what "most people" think about the name.

She's just saying how it sounds in a UK context. That's not an insult.

Ooh it's very sweet and lovely ❤️

TitilatedOcelot · 14/03/2019 08:30

My first reaction was that it sounds like a made up word, along the lines of bigly. Sorry 😐

Will “American” ever STOP being an insult on this website?

Sophronia · 13/03/2019 23:31

Trendy and American, it will definitely date.

chiarazuri · 13/03/2019 10:32

I like it! Sounds more like a surname though as someone mentioned earlier, but still a pretty name!

Happyandglorious · 13/03/2019 10:30

Not a fan.
Noah is strong and stylish imo.
Everly is silly made up and seems American.
I agree wth pp who suggested

sirmione16 · 13/03/2019 10:11

I loved it too but it was on the list of top 20 most popular in our area for last year and that's put me off :( I've seen a lot of name threads of here for everly and everlyn etc too

averythinline · 13/03/2019 10:07

Not a fan, short names that sound similar to Noah
Etta
Luna
Gaia
Clara

not a fan of double barrelled first names ,seemed to be fashion here a few years back ...if Noah soudns good for a boy would suggest your surname works well with that sort of sound....

aliceandkids77 · 13/03/2019 09:54

Oooh yes I think Everly Rose is gorgeous! I know a girl who spells it Everleigh which is beautiful too if you like that spelling x

stellarfox · 13/03/2019 09:52

I like Everly Rose but I would definitely put Rose as the middle name. Really not keen on two names as a first name. You could still call her Everly Rose

brookshelley · 13/03/2019 01:09

I know a little girl called Everly and she is the cutest, sweetest child. Go for it!

Lovingbenidorm · 13/03/2019 01:08

Take the point of it sounding like ‘Heavily’
Certainly not if your surname is Bilt

ElizabethMainwaring · 13/03/2019 01:07

Ha ha!

Lovingbenidorm · 13/03/2019 01:06

We’re as bad as each other 😏

Lovingbenidorm · 13/03/2019 01:05

Shame, obviously 🙄

Lovingbenidorm · 13/03/2019 01:04

Oh the Shane Elizabeth!!!
Yes you’re right!
How about Claudette?

ElizabethMainwaring · 13/03/2019 01:04

Beniform?? Benidorm, sorry!

Lovingbenidorm · 13/03/2019 01:03

Noah is a very lovely name.
Everly should be a good name but too many connotations I’m afraid.

ElizabethMainwaring · 13/03/2019 01:02

Lovingbeniform, that's Simon and Garfunkel.
Everly sounds too much like heavily to me.

ColeHawlins · 13/03/2019 00:56

Yeah, brothers. I'm humming now.
