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?

Two in my four year old son's class, plus a ton of similar names - Evie, Eva, Evelyn, Ava, Ada. They're all the same and I find it hard to remember who is who.

No adults. I know one Eva, that's all. Mid-Essex.

SallyWD · 13/04/2023 09:37

I prefer Eve with Evie as a nickname. Evie sounds a bit cutesy to me.

SallyWD · 13/04/2023 09:36

2, both aged about 13

Frlrlrubert · 13/04/2023 09:35

3 age 6
1 age 8
1 about 75

North east. I know of one, she's a teenager. I do know quite a few with similar sound eg Ivy, Ava, Edie. Not good friends, friends of friends, nursery etc.

EyesOnThePies · 13/04/2023 09:33

2 both 21. I know a lot of 21 year olds.

Mumofgirls2017 · 13/04/2023 09:06

2, in London

We have an Evelyn, known as Evie. We are in the South East, and we don't know any other Evelyn's/Evie's!

GrouchyKiwi · 13/04/2023 09:01

I know one, who is Evelyn but gets called Evie half the time. We're in Central Scotand.

SpringIntoChaos · 13/04/2023 09:00

Oh blimey...many!! No adults though, all children. I have two in my class this year and had two last year also. I'm in East Midlands, but I also know many in other regions...my daughter is also a teacher in Norfolk and has two in her class, and two friends also with children called Evie. One of those is Evelyn but gets called Evie and one is just Evie.

Changeau · 13/04/2023 09:00

Eve is far nicer IMO.

ThisWormHasTurned · 13/04/2023 09:00

I know four. One short for Evette who is almost 60, two in year 6 and one who is almost four. East Mids area.
I think it’s a lovely name.

1930toEdinburgh · 13/04/2023 08:59

Surely if the name is right for you it's right and numbers won't help !?

Of course it's a popular name in the very popular genre of twee little girl names. There are loads like it too as mentioned.

I'd suggest you are on the fence if you are asking this question so I'd be thinking again.

Just 1 (north east). But I feel like it blends in with the Ava, Edie type names and in total I know loads of them.

I agree with this, it feels like it's everywhere as it blends in with lots of other popular names, Evies, Edies, Eves, Ellas, Evas, Ava, Ellies.

OP if you're worried about the popularity of the name then I wouldn't use it. Hoping it's used more in other areas doesn't mean your child won't be in a class with others. It's been a popular name for years, and it's unlikely this is going to change.

Awrite · 13/04/2023 08:56

It's a lovely name. I know one teen Evie and 'know of' a couple more (children + teens). No adult Evies.

Scotland.

Climbingthelaundrymountain · 13/04/2023 08:54

Actually I do know another who is 4

Climbingthelaundrymountain · 13/04/2023 08:53
  1. 2 are 15, one is 11 and one is 1.

I know 3 spread out across the UK one is 5 and the other 2 are 13 and 14. I work in a school so come across a lot of names. I actually used it on a thread the other day where it asked school staff what was the name of your loveliest pupil. The 3 I know are all as lovely as the name

If you want more specific areas 1 Scotland, 1 south west, one London

SunhatsAndFlipFlops · 13/04/2023 08:37
