How many Evies do you know?!

239 replies

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!

I’ve only ever known one Evie - when I was in primary school and she was a horrid little girl and bullied everyone. I’m now in my early 30s so she would be too.

Thanks all for the useful responses. Interesting to hear views from across the country as I only know of one little Evie near us. There does seem to be some regional variation, but as someone has commented of course this is no guarantee that she wouldn’t be one of many in her class. I have a name that has been in the top 10 for many years and as luck would have it, have never been one of many during school years, but this may well just have been fortunate. Have always loved my name though despite its popularity. We are now down to our two favourite names (the other isn’t even in the top 100) so I guess popularity is definitely a factor that we’re taking into account with this one.

Three primary school age in my very small road and my friend's baby. Also several Eves, Avas etc. South East and very over used.

RedToothBrush · 13/04/2023 10:47

One or two Evies are compulsory in every class in DS'S school.

He has two Evies and an Ava for good measure.

They all look like clones which doesn't help.

Someone should do a zombie movie based on the phenomena.

89redballoons · 13/04/2023 10:13

South West - I know 2 Evies and 2 Edies all under the age of 4.

ThisIsTrifficult · 13/04/2023 10:04

I have an almost 4yo Evie, but that's not her full name, just a shortening of her very long given name!
I'm south east.

Sandysandwich · 13/04/2023 10:03

1 Evie, she would be about 25 now
There are none in DCs schools, but there is one Evangeline who goes by Evan. South

MuffinToSeeHere · 13/04/2023 10:00

I know absolutely loads due to working acroy many schools but I also agree with previous posters it feels like there are even more of them because it blends in with all the other names like Eva, Ava, Edie, Ellie and Amelie etc.

Either way it's an incredibly popular name and if it being popular bothers you already then I'd avoid using it or similar sounding names entirely.

LeafHunter · 13/04/2023 09:57

Midlands.

i Know too many to count. Mostly they are aged 8-16, I can only think of 3 who are under 8.

Limetart · 13/04/2023 09:56

PMAalltheway · 13/04/2023 09:56

I know one (lovely) teenager Evie - West Yorkshire

MrsRickAstley · 13/04/2023 09:54

Midlands.

3x Evie
3x Eva
1x Ava

elevenplusdilemma · 13/04/2023 09:51

Loads (ages 6-16 ish). I don't know many younger kids so maybe there are more of this age range also.

HollyandJingles · 13/04/2023 09:48

I have 24 Brownies and at the moment there are 3 Evies, 4 Evas, 3 Avas and an Evelyn! They’re all aged between 7 and 10. We’re in Gloucestershire, its a hugely popular name here.
