How many Evies do you know?!

I'm a teacher ;) To me they don't. Especially Ava doesn't sound the same to me at all. Ava is much closer to Ada or Ayla than to Evie. Ivy is somewhat close to Evie but that never gets mentioned.

One. She's horrible 😆

@RedToothBrush, well no. It's not the same name. Similar but not the same. I would know, I named her. And if you called my DD Evie, she would correct you and say it's not her name, and again, she would know as it's her name.

And imo, and others here it would seem, it doesn't have the same vibe. Evie, to me, is a cutsie name that suits a small child but not really beyond that; Eva is a timeless, elegant name that suits all ages. One I love; one I don't. Ava is also very similar but I really dislike it.

There are lots of names that sound very similar but have a different vibe. But a child becomes their name and their name becomes the child's. You see them all as the same name because I'm guessing you don't really like any of them. I had the name Eva picked out since I was about 18 when it wasn't that popular at all, but it's rise in popularity wasn't going to put me off. My DD is definitely not an Evie.

And going back to my original point, the 'sea' of Eve, Evie, Eva, Ava, Evelyn, Aoife just doesn't exist in my area. I know one adult Eve, who is an Evonne, one Eva, who is my 10yo DD, and a 14yo Eva, who lives in a different part of the country. I don't know any others but apparently they're everywhere.

At least 6. Reminds me of Lily, Ava and Ruby. All beautiful names but just very common and unimaginative.

Oh and that's in West of Scotland

2 kids (but one spelt Yvie) and one dog.

Very cute name

Five, seven if you count the pokemon character and my cat who was named after said pokemon

Workfriends daughter in ne England aged 11 called Evie. Middle name Honey.
I have a 19yo daughter named Eve. We know no others And she hates it when people call her Evie lol.

Central Scotland - I teach a couple of Evie's (albeit one is Evelyn) in high school. Don't know of any others young or old.

None - east Scotland

None

I do not know any. Scotland

I know two. I live in North Yorkshire.

Sorry, Home Counties

6 human ones and 1 canine one

About 8 all 4- 5 years old

This.

There really isn't the individuality that parents think because their daughter is Evangeline rather than Evelyn or Eve or Ava or Evie.

It's just the trendy sound that blurs together into similarity.

It really doesn't help with girls as there is a tendency for them all to really conform to the same hairstyle etc ATM too (in a way that wasn't as strict even a decade ago).

It's such a shame because there's not a shortage of beautiful names out there but there is a real shortage of imagination from parents.

I say this as someone whose parents really thought they were being different only to give me one of the 'names of the era' which I have always hated.

However I know of at least 3 Ava’s (all primary age) 2 Elsie’s (toddler age) and various other Edies, Ada’s etc.

1 adult evie in her 30s, up north. And she is as lovely as her name is.

I know 1 Evie. She's aged 10
Area is East of England

I disagree. To me Eva, Eve, Evie, Ava are different names. An Eve could be called Evie but I don't think it's a given and the names are distinctive enough. Just because several people have said it doesn't mean they're right, especially as some of the comments have been mean spirited and obviously just been made to hurt OP.

As someone who works in a lot of schools they do absolutely all merge together though. It's not unkind to point that out. When you have a cohort of children where a significant amount have very similar sounding names they do indeed start to all sound alike even though they are obviously different names.

It's the same with boys names starting with an A. Around here in any given class in a primary school a large proportion of the boys names all sound alike think Archie, Alfie, Arlo, Albie, Artie and Archer consequently even though they are different names they like all the Eva's, Ava's, Edie's and Evie's start to merge into one name.

About a bazillion! In reality somewhere between 20-30 (newborn-20s) if I was to count them plus a handful of Eva's and a couple of Eve's. North East

I know five, one in her late forties and four aged between 10 and 12. This is in London

None of the Eves, Evas or Evelyns I know go by Evie. They are all classic names that go in and out of style. Evelyn was very dated until it became fashionable again.

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!!!
