Evelyn

[iamdivergent]

There's just something about it I love atm...thoughts?

[SauceForTheGander]

Oh good fact AllMimsy love that!

The boy Evelyn is pronounced differently to girl Evelyn - I always have to say in my head first - which is poor seeing as DD has it as middle name

[afluffylamb]

I love this name. It oozes elegance.

A childhood friend had it. Her nickname was "Evvy" (rhymes with "heavy").

[Montsti]

I really don't get this name at all - maybe it's an association thing though as my mums best friend is Evelyn (Eva lyn not ev uh lyn) and, although she's great, I just think of a middle aged woman...also not keen on Eva/Evie..

[FruitbatAuntie]

I like it, it was my grandma's name though so that may have influenced me. She was an Evv-Lynn, not Eve-Lynn.

I didn't know that about Evelyn Waugh - that's very funny!

[susiedaisy]

I love it and pronounce it Ev uh Lin

[KERALA1]

Too popular. This generations sarah. At one stage one third of the girls in dds class were called a variant of Eve. Drove me bonkers! "Mum can eve come to tea? Fell out with the other eve but blonde eve wanted to play but not Evie. She's too loud. I like Eva though" a aargh that name is full!

[OublietteBravo]

I love it (it is DDs middle name). We pronounce it Ev-ah-lyn.

[Dinosaursdontgrowontrees]

I have one so obviously I love it.. We do get a few pronunciation issues but never been too much of an issue. (We pronounce it Ev ah Lyn)

[ZenNudist]

I think of Evelyn Waugh. Say Eevlin. Assumed you were asking about a boys name. It's nice for a girl too.

[poorbuthappy]

Love it.
Dd though ended up as Eve.
Evie sometimes!!
