How would you pronounce Evelyn?

[PixieCake]

Would you say 'Eve-lin' or 'Ev-lin'?

Thanks!

Eve-lin

It was my grandmother's name and she said "ev-lin". However I think this is a minority pronouciation today as the little ones I know are all "eve-lin".

I would really hope you wouldn't pronounce it Eve-lin if we're talking about a girl. Ev-lin is the feminine pronunciation, Eve-lin has always been male. As in Ev-lin Welch and Eve-lin Waugh.

Eve-lin or Ever-lin

would probably say Ever-lin even though I think Eve-lin is nicer

Eeever-lyn!

Everlin.

Eveh-lin (sounds like Ever-lin)

I know a Scottish Evelyn pronounced Everlin, but English ones seem to be Eve lin

Ev-lin or Ever-lin

Eve-lin

You can pronounce either way. DD is eve-lin but gets both. Ignore the Evelyn Waugh thing about this being the masculine pronunciation.

Ev-lin

Ev-lin

Ev-lin

did not know this name hasd a masculine version, I cannot imagine a man called Evelyn for some reason.

I would automatically say ever-lyn and I think that sounds lovely!

Ever-lyn

My dd's middle name is Evelyn. I wanted it for her first name but was worried about everyone saying it wrong especially as we live in France. As a first name I would have said Everlin but as a middle name it flows better being Eevlin.

Ev-lin

I have 2 relatives named it, both are Eve lyn. One hates it as she feels it is too close to Evil.

ever-lin

Ev-lin. Wasn't Eve-lin the baddie woman in He-Man?

ev lin

My dds name and it is ever-lyn, drives me mad when people say eve-lyn, that's the male version.

Evelyn Waugh was, I believe, married to a woman also called Evelyn. Their friends called them Hevelyn and Shevelyn to differentiate them!! I think you can pronounce it either way if you are a girl with the Eve-lin way being more popular for males.
