Evelyn Faye?

We have one! Evelyn Rose!
Everyone on here is always going on about how common Rose is as a middle name but I adore it and think its beautiful with Evelyn.

Don't have an Evelyn but how about Lily?

Rose is one of my middle names! Do like it. Not really keen on Faye.

Ihatepeas Do you shorten your Evelyn's name?

My little one is Evelyn Jean (after her late grandmother)

Eggwhisk · 14/10/2013 20:41

My dd(10) is Evelyn Rose, I agree with ihatepeas the names go beautifully together :-)

Eves · 14/10/2013 20:42

I have an Evelyn Rose!

senmerrygoround · 14/10/2013 20:45

I know an Evelyn Hope who's an amazing person!

2tired2bewitty · 14/10/2013 20:46

I have an Evelyn Rose too, and know of another (unless she belongs to one of the posters above!)

I think a hardish sound works best, so May, Jane, Margaret etc

hallamoo · 14/10/2013 20:47

Evelyn Beatrice?

cantthinkofagoodone · 14/10/2013 20:48

Jade? Faith?

Eggwhisk · 14/10/2013 20:49

Who knew Evelyn was so popular! I've only met one other and that was only last year.

peppapigmustdie · 14/10/2013 20:49

Eves · 14/10/2013 20:50

Yes she is Evie day to day.
Evelyn/ Evie is a great name, we always get positive comment in rw about her name.

Eggwhisk · 14/10/2013 20:53

My dd gets called Ev by her friends at school and Evie at home.

shootingstar1234 · 14/10/2013 20:54

Evelyn Grace? Evelyn Marie?

Eves · 14/10/2013 20:55

We call her Eves, Evo and Evelyn bevelyn. Not too weird.

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 14/10/2013 20:55

Grace, Evelyn Grace, it's the first name that came to me.

devonsmummy · 14/10/2013 20:56

May

Josie314 · 14/10/2013 20:57

I have an Evelyn Marie, which we shorten to Evie.
