Vanessa or Evie

[CloudSurfer]

which would you prefer to be called ?

Vanessa.

Evie is too popular at the moment - I know several and a couple of Eva's too.

Or you could choose Evelyn, Evangeline, etc and use Evie for short. I'm not a fan of nicknames for real names tho'.

Vanessa . I know two adult Vanessas, and they are both lovely and elegant.

There are also a lot of little girls called Evie at the moment.

Evie

Vanessa

Both are lovely, but again I'd say Evie is getting almost too popular just now.
I also know a lovely adult Vanessa

So either or. Helpful?

Evie would be my choice but if it were me would go with Evelyn. Not keen on Vanessa.

Vanessa.

Evie

Vanessa, Evie is so popular but to me it's such a 'little girl' name - I can never imagine an adult Evie, it's too cutesy! Vanessa would suit a little girl and an adult however. IMO.

Vanessa. Evie wouldn't suit me at all. But then it strikes me as very much the name of a little girl - I'd be pretty surprised to meet an adult Evie.

Vanessa. If I were using Evie it would be short for something else.

Strangely enough, Evie is a name that says older person to me, thanks to names in my grandmother's and dad's generation.

I'm not a fan of 'ness' 'nessa' or 'nessie' which is what I've heard Vanessa's shortened to so I'd say Evie.

Evelyn in full or just Eve. Evie by itself is one of those dreadful twee 'eee' names that will date to the 2000-2010 bracket in the way that Sharon, Tracy, Claire, Michelle etc do to the seventies. Vanessa is much more distinguished than Evie, but not my actual cup of tea.

Eve and Evie as a nickname. Surely Eve won't date.
