Page 2 | How many Evies do you know?!

So grateful for all the responses on my previous thread. To further this - and hopefully help to narrow things down further for us - I wanted to ask specifically how any Evies do you know? If you’re happy to share your region (north, south etc) that would be great. Thanks so much to those who already answered this as part of my previous thread! Thanks in advance!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Cos she is kidding herself. There a whole pile of people on this thread saying Eva / Evie etc are all just the same blob that merge into one and if someone can't see how that's perceived then they are deluding themselves when multiple people are saying that exact thing!!!

Show quote history

She literally said that there are no children with similar names. You said the names are similar, she didn't say that they weren't. She said her daughter is the only Eva, there is no Eve, Evie, Ava, Evelyn or any other similar sounding name: What that means, is that she thinks the names are similar. You are having a fight with yourself, it's hilarious.

1 child around 10. South East. Lovely name

This has to be a windup!

Lots, especially once you include the Evelyns, Evangelines etc who go by Evie. Probably a dozen under the age of 15?

@namechange2344 I suspect your partner knew perfectly well how to spell Evie. He played a blinder on you there!

Ha, never thought of that!

You’re a more forgiving woman than me, @namechange2344!

I was young and soft back then

I only know of 2 Evies, 1 age 13, 1 in year 1.

The 13 year old is the only Evie in her year (240 kids). I know 3 girls called Eva age 14-15 too.

TheRosesAreInBloom · 13/04/2023 08:27

I know of a few and sorry OP, find this to be an awful, sickly name.

West Mids.

I’m not sure op was asking for your personal opinion on the name just how many you knew.

i hope my daughter Evie (14) doesn’t read this 😜

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 14/04/2023 09:17

So did he add the ‘ee’ ending without your knowledge when he registered the birth?

namechange2344 · 14/04/2023 09:16

@ZoyaTheDestroyer yes. He did spell it that way when we discussed it when I was pregnant but luckily wasn't that silly once she was around!

namechange2344 · 14/04/2023 09:13

RedToothBrush · 14/04/2023 09:09

Anyway, long story short she became Evee because DP is a Pokémon lover and it means it had the same ending as my name. It was DPs "fault" that she was spelt this way and I hated him for a good week because of it but actually it's great.

Why didn't you go with Eevee?

I mean personally I think it would be ridiculous but I think Dd and I are lucky this wasn't the case

Name changed to comment on this as incredibly outing. I have an Evee. Ever since I watched the mummy as a little girl, I wanted to call my daughter Evie. I wasn't sure whether I would use Evie as a full name or something longer and shorten.

In the year I got pregnant everyone was calling their girls Evie and I hate the idea of a popular name as I have one and was one of 3/4 in a very small class but my name is spelt differently so ok if you write it down. I also hated this as I constantly have to spell it to people and repeat as they always switch letters about.

We make joke about her temper making her a flareon and when she is caught in the rain she will become a VaporeRon. It's the name that keeps on giving. Some of her friends call her Eve.

But the Pokémon is Eevee?!

Carsarelife · 14/04/2023 08:40

About 50. Ok I'm exaggerating but feels like 50. I've started to hate the name

3 Evie's and a handful of Evas
One adult Eve

Thirdsummerofourdiscontent · 14/04/2023 07:52

12 they are 10 and 17

AgnesGray · 14/04/2023 07:43

I have met a lot (I work in a school), but I only actually know two properly outside work. One is preschool age and the other is 7 or 8. I'm in the SE England

HVPRN · 14/04/2023 07:36

@Meandfour haha I just read that comment too.. Something Ursula from LM would say 🤪

My daughter is Evangeline, aged 15y. We abbreviate to Eva, however she is happy to use her full name, I think she prefers using it, especially as there are a few Evie's, Evelyn's, & 1 other Eva that she has encountered over the years.

CatsAddictedToDreamies · 14/04/2023 07:35

Names tend to be popular because they are lovely names.

I certainly hope you are able to hide your contempt in the baby clinic @cptartapp

Meandfour · 14/04/2023 07:15

cptartapp · 14/04/2023 06:43

I run a baby clinic. There's one every time.
Weak, infantile name.

You sound nice :/
