I'm so stuck! After all the negative feedback I received for Maximus I really need some great suggestions to put to my DH. Girls and boys please. I want something just a little bit unusual to balance out the dull surname. Many thanks! x

How about Maximillian instead of Maximus?

nn for Gabriel would be Gabby? or Elle/Ella?

I think Estellla is really lovely and yes it does go well with Evans.

I think if you are worrying about whether the first name goes with the surname why don't you consider a middle name also.

Tamsin
Judith
Rosanne
Meredith
Marianne

Ross
Russell
Craig
Lewis
Justin

All go well with Evans to my ears. I agree that Estelle Evans would sound better than Estella Evans.

Gabriel - shortened to Gabe for the boy I know and Gabby for a girl.

Most of my favourite names don't end in 'a' so they all go well with Evans.
I don't think Estella works as well as just Estelle Evans.

Phoebe Evans, Beatrice Evans, Juliet Evans, Annabel Evans, Rachel Evans, Elizabeth Evans, Susie Evans, Dulcie Evans....

Boys are much easier because their names are less likely to end in a vowel sound.

Anything except Barry.

Lee for a boy

Arabella and Isobella are such lovely names, I dislike when they are shortened to Bella.

There is a Gabriel at ds's school which is shortened to Gay bee

Geraint.

I'm liking the suggestions, thanks guys. I think Arabella Evans is lovely and Jasmine too. I like Gabriel a lot but what does it get shortened to? I'm into names allowing good nicknames, like Bella.

Thank you, madame! I must admit I was a bit gutted by all the abuse of Maximus, so it made me think that maybe I did really like the name after all...

Do you think E names can go with Evans? I quite like Estella.

I think Maximus is afaboulos name....I went to a barbecue in the summer and there was a little boy there with that name and I have never forgotten him. Such a strong name, if you like it go with it as your instinct is always right...

Girls names for Evans...

Chloe
Molly
Tilly
Frea

The list could go on....
