Will Evelyn be pronounced like Christmas Eve or like Ever?

So Eve lyn, or Ev lyn ?

Choose a short middle name as the last name is long

It will be pronounced ever lyn and yes i agree a 1 Syllable middle name would work best

Hi,i wanted evelyn my self,my midea of middle name was Ada,or Grace
At the end we decided to name her Tamara Evelyn,

Krazynights34 · 05/02/2021 00:48

It’s not Ever Lyn though 😳.
It’s either Ev e Lyn or Eve Lyn.
And spelled Evelyn.
It’s lovely.
I’d pronounce it Ev e Lyn.
And on that point I’d say
Evelyn joy
Evelyn Grace
Evelyn Marianne
Evelyn Martha
Evelyn Faith
Evelyn Olivia
Evelyn Ida

Evelyn Jo.

LochJessMonster · 05/02/2021 01:06

It’s spelt Evelyn and I would pronounce it ‘ever Lyn’

pumpkinbump · 05/02/2021 01:09

Rose, May, only two I can think of

Instinctive choice: Rose
Unless there’s a personal reason for a particular one syllable name.
Check that the initials look ok before a definite decision!

Twospaniels · 05/02/2021 07:20

I had a Great Aunt Eve Lyn, and on the other side of the family a Great Aunt Ev Lyn

Neither of them were pronounced Ever Lyn or Ev a Lyn

🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyway, I like Rose for a middle name whichever way you pronounce Evelyn or spell Evelyn

amusedbush · 05/02/2021 11:04

Everlyn isn't a name though Confused

I'm Scottish so I pronounce it Ev-lyn with no extra syllable in the middle. It's a beautiful name and it's on my shortlist if I ever have a girl.

I like Rose as a middle name with Evelyn.
