Evan?

[mumblebumble]

We've decided this time round not to share our planned baby name with anyone in real life, but it's making it hard to reality-test it!

Can I have any opinions on Evan - we are in England and have no Welsh heritage if that makes a difference.

Also any ideas for a middle name? Surname begins with O so nothing else starting with a vowel, or spelling out a word (e.g. I like Matthew but not sure he'd thank me for the initials EMO!) I'm considering the following:

Evan Jacob
Evan Joseph

Wise mumsnetters what do you think?

Evan Dando was a druggie mess in the 90s but I thought he'd got past that.

Evan Alexander
Evan Christopher
Evan James
Evan Luke

Love it

I'm Welsh and know two little Welsh Evans, neither pronounced 'Eevan', so I don;'t think you need to worry too much about that. If I wanted the Eevan pronounciation I'd spell it Ifan.

I've got a 4 year old Evan, we do have welsh heritage and some of my older family pronounce it the welsh way but we use the English version. I have only met one other and it is a fab name, uncommonly used but strong, simple, fab
