No chance.

hillyhilly · 12/10/2011 22:22

No, no, no

spottypancake · 12/10/2011 22:23

No, it is a bit funny.

StetsonsAreCool · 12/10/2011 22:24

No don't do it.

Sorry, not a good idea.

How about Aaron, Aidan, Daniel, Abraham (Abe), Eli, Liam?

Dumpyandabdabs · 12/10/2011 23:11

Aw I sympathise greatly, I have a ds 7 who is called Adam and desperately wanted to call my dd Evie but as soon as I mentioned it to anyone they burst out laughing so decided against it. We did find another name we loved tho. Adam is a fabulous name tho

MelinaM · 12/10/2011 23:31

Absolutely not! No, no and no again!

Adam is lovely, but not with Evie as a siblingSmile

FessaEst · 12/10/2011 23:34

Nope!

oohlaalaa · 14/10/2011 13:19

No, if I met an Evie and Adam, I might start giggling inappropriately.

MamaLazarou · 14/10/2011 14:53

Sorry, no.

mathanxiety · 14/10/2011 15:24

Do I have to say it?

AnaisB · 14/10/2011 16:15

no - sorry!

CaptainMartinCrieff · 14/10/2011 16:17

Adam is a lovely name... But no, you can't.... It is too silly, sorry.

Perhaps Aaron? Or Eben? Or Evan?

TryLikingClarity · 14/10/2011 16:34

When my mum was younger she had a boyfriend called Joseph. Her name is Mary and she said the sniggers and jokes were one of the reasons they broke up.

Don't do it. Please

starsandstripes · 14/10/2011 16:53

noooooooooooooooooooooo!
[hsmile]

Both nice names individually can you use Evie as a middle name? How about
Ellie

CaptainMartinCrieff · 14/10/2011 16:56

stars it would be a bit mean to change the name of the existing DD for the benefit of the future DS! Wink

starsandstripes · 14/10/2011 16:56

Hahaha! sorry not with it [hgrin]

VivaLeBeaver · 14/10/2011 16:57
