Name debate part 2

Ok since OH has now realised what fucking awful chavvy not very nice names they tend to like, they have upped the game by choosing another name to debate me with.

Same rules as last time, not saying who prefers what name in the interest of fairness and it's a simple vote as to which girl's name you prefer.

Simone
or
Evelyn

Evelyn Grin

Evelyn, but would want to be called either tbh.

ImpYCelyn · 06/11/2011 19:20

Evelyn :)

Don't like Simone at all, sorry. Also, I'm not enormously keen on Evelyn - there are loads of Evies around at the moment.

meditrina · 06/11/2011 19:20

Not that keen on either: at a push, I'd go for Simone (as at least that's definitely a girl's name, and Nina Simone is cool).

Evelyn is increasingly a female name, but unisex to many, and it still says boy to me (Evelyn Waugh). I'm not big on unisex names, hence I wouldn't choose this, but perhaps that's not important to you.

Evelyn reminds me of ancient Irish aunts, and Eve/Evie are so played out as nicknames.

So Simone, for me.

Sorry I don't like either....I've got an Aunty Evelyn and she's In her 70's so to me it's an older persons name

LaFilleSurLePont · 06/11/2011 20:04

Evelyn.

Towndon · 06/11/2011 20:24

Evelyn, although Eve names are v. popular.

I don't like the "moan" sound in Simone.

RillaBlythe · 07/11/2011 05:03

Either. Simone has the edge.

ragged · 07/11/2011 06:06

Evelyn, which is a family name and it only sounds right to me if pronounced "Ev-lin". Simone is fine, too, though.

CheerfulYank · 07/11/2011 06:09

Both are okay, but just okay, to me.

nooka · 07/11/2011 06:10

I think these two are much of a muchness.

tummytickler · 07/11/2011 07:31

Simone

3isamagicnumber · 07/11/2011 09:31

Dont like either, sorry but if I had to choose would go for Evelyn.

CuppaTeaJanice · 07/11/2011 09:34

Evelyn

Simone is a 1980s Sloane Ranger with a power suit, mobile phone the size of a suitcase, and a condescending sneer.

Rhubarbgarden · 07/11/2011 11:44

Simone. Love it.

pilates · 07/11/2011 11:49

Don't like either, sorry

Montsti · 07/11/2011 11:50

I don't like either but at a push Evelyn...

Ephiny · 07/11/2011 11:52

I prefer Simone, given the choice, but don't love either.

kingprawntikka · 07/11/2011 12:08

I don't like either.

sonniebonnie · 07/11/2011 13:37

Simone is much nicer IMO.
