I have a brother Evan. My other brother's name is Michael and my name is Miriam. I wouldn't recommend mine...

My closest friend is Jade so there's zero chance of that, even though I'm fond of the name as she's so lovely 😍

Lots of Evans about - Michael isn't for me, I'm afraid. It's in the Andrew/Mark/Stephen/Ryan/Matthew/Christopher category for me - all perfectly acceptable but all were in my class at school in the 90s

I'm still hoping someone comes through with an upgrade on Rudolph 😂

Are you Welsh? I can't imagine anyone English using Evan, so I'm confused by the lack of Welsh girls names. If you are Welsh, then Eleri, Sara, Lowri, Catrin, Megan ?

I'm not Welsh, I'm from Northern Ireland

DS1 is Evan. DS2 is on the way and I've decided on Mateo but also considered Idris, Hector, Nathaniel, Asher and Henry.

On my girls list was Daphne, Margot, Astrid, Meredith, Diana and Clara.

Rufus doesn't look complete to me. Like it should be Rufustus 😂 also "roofies" is another name for Rohypnol

Disclaimer: I do not mean to be rude about any names and I really apologise if I offend anyone, never my intention

Yep, just like that! Surprisingly no one has yet said it to rhyme with patio. Grin

I only know how to pronounce it as I'm a massive Chelsea fan and our old player/manager is a fella called Roberto Di Matteo. Absolutely lovely name
