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

Thanks!

Ev-lin, although I think Eev-lin sounds nicer.

I knew a married couple called .......... Evelyn and Evelyn :o

The lady was Evva-lin(Evvy) and the man was Eve-lin. Also an Aunty Evvy in my family (Ev-lin)

Having said that, I think the vas majority of people would say it Eve-lyn
