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!

London: two Evies - aged 20 & 5

I know 3x Eva all early/mid teens 13-16

anon90210 · 13/04/2023 23:35
  1. One teen, one 11 year old, one about 3 and a newborn.

About fifteen off the top of my head, ages 3-17.

You do need to account for the Evie-adjacent names. I have mentioned this before on this board but my DD was in an infants class a few years ago with:

Eva (evva)
Eva (eeva)
Evie
Evelyn
Aoife
and a boy called Evan.

That’s a lot of near-homophones and homographs in a busy classroom.

5 that I can think of a 13 year old, 5 year old, 2x 17 year olds and a 22 year old

I know 3 humans and several dogs by that name.

specialTea · 13/04/2023 23:06

Omg so many in London
Guess around 20
I'm not a teacher
In every girl group there is: Isabell/a, olive or Olivia, the Mia maya maia

Then the eve evie 'only known as Evelyn' Evie-rose evie-may , Aoife , the Indian version of it aveea (?) so 2010. Then the Ada versions that followed (yawn)

Why do people use this name so much? It's just a limp nothingy girly sound that sounds like a whine 'eeee veeee' Horrible

Seems to be moving into harder vowel names round here - several Clara Zara Lara Margot Margaret type names now

BettyBoopy · 13/04/2023 22:10

I'm a teacher, there's 1 or 2 in almost every class in the school. Not as common as Layla or Charlie though... there are 3 Charlie's and 6 (yes 6!!) Laylas in one class alone. North West UK

neverendinglauaundry · 13/04/2023 22:07

I know a 12 year old one. Also had one in my class years ago who must be about 30 now. Both lovely kids.

I know way too many Evie's. My daughter is friends with them and I keep getting mixed up which Evie she's relating too 😂
