Both dh and I cannot agree on boys names - at all,

One we both agree on and really like is Adam. However our dd is called Evalyn!

What do the mn jury think! Is it a bit too much and a bit wrong seeing as Evalyn is quite close to eve?

Aaarrrgggghhh baby naming is sooo hard!

Yep! Definitely too close imo! Especially as I guess there's a strong likelihood of youe DD's name being shortened to Eve at some point in her life!

Too close!

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 06/01/2013 21:32

What about Alex, Aaron or Aidan?

Adam is too close imo.

No,you can't.

Thanks Confused
We know an Aidan! Suggested Alex and Aaron and I don't think he is sure..... Back to the drawing board I think!

I think we both like traditional names - I think if I recall he likes James. I like Edward.

I like Edward, especially Ted as a nickname.

Also like Christopher/Kit.

Is she eh-vlyn or ee-vlyn?

If the later then yeah might be a bit weird but I would pronounce it the former so then it'd be fine!

CheeseBallsRule · 06/01/2013 23:06

She is more ev-lyn or evah-lyn! But thinking about it people do get her name wrong and call her eev-lynAngry
