I really like the name Evie as a girl's name but, should i have a girl, would like to christen her Evelyn. I am, however, unsure of the female pronunciation of the version as it can be for either sex. Can anybody help???

I have known both. Not sure whether it can be either.

I have also known an Ev-lin

I would opt for ev-er-lyn, because ee-ve-lyn was a baadie in the 80's He-man cartoon
