Just that - which do you prefer ? Thanks

I feel that Evie is more of a nickname and so so popular that it's lost its appeal, I think Eve is beautiful though. Eve Isabella would be absolutely stunning in my humble opinion Smile

Doglover83 · 07/10/2017 22:43

Eve Isabella is stunning! I actually started off with Isabella Eve, which my husband vetoed, so this could work :)

Both pretty names. Prefer Freya but like both

Biffybiffster · 07/10/2017 23:09

I had the same two names to chose from! Went for Evie in the end (Evelyn) don't regret it at all, still love it despite its popularity

I've never liked the name Freya - find it a bit meh. Also I've heard quite a few people pronounce it Fweya which would irritate me...

Evie is ok but I much prefer Ava or even Eva...

Going to throw another one into the mix, hubby has just suggested Annie! Thoughts ??

I like Freya and Annie

BeardyDog8371 · 08/10/2017 16:24

I think that both names have had their name. I like Evie more.

BeardyDog8371 · 08/10/2017 16:24

Annie is my favourite out of the three

BeardyDog8371 · 08/10/2017 16:24

Both names have had their day*

AdalindSchade · 08/10/2017 16:25

Neither - both far too popular. Annie is very sweet and not too popular, Anna on the birth certificate though

whatsleep · 08/10/2017 16:33

A bit of both maybe?! Evie Freya

Eva

Chaffinch4 · 08/10/2017 17:36

Annie is lovely.

CPtart · 08/10/2017 19:11

Anything but Evie. So infantile and billions of them. Eve if you must.
Not keen on Annie. Anna is nicer. Drop all the ie endings.
Prefer Freya.

FindTheLightSwitchDarren · 08/10/2017 20:15

Freya

FindTheLightSwitchDarren · 08/10/2017 20:16

Oh just saw you are considering Annie; nicest of the three by miles for me. I'd probably put Anna or Annabel on the bc, but I'm a fan of longer names with possible shortenings.

Flicketyflack · 08/10/2017 20:25

Eve or Anna (biased as I have both!) x

Doglover83 · 08/10/2017 20:37

Good response for Annie Smile I don't want to use Anna as there are two in the family already! I really love Annabelle with spelling Annabel (it was my granny's name) but hubby won't have it because of the movie out recently Angry! So Annie is his compromise .....it's really growing on me! He doesn't like Freya as much so as it stands it
Evie Annabel
Or
Annie Isabel

Xx

Annie Isabel a thousand times over! Lovely.

mum2be2boys · 08/10/2017 22:22

Annie Isabel is lovely! :-)

Doglover83 · 08/10/2017 22:29

Thankyou Smile it's a def contender ATM x

Annie Isabel

spiderlight · 09/10/2017 17:10

I love Freya - if DS had been a girl he'd have been Freya Rhiannon. Prefer Annie to Evie. There are thousands of little Evies around and Annie's a much cooler name and more feisty.

Doglover83 · 09/10/2017 18:31

Yes the popularity of Evie would def put me off!! Looks like Annie proving more popular on here :) yes I love Freya too, hubby not so keen

I have an Eve Hazel. I think Evie Annabel doesn't flow brilliantly but it's ok. My Eve goes by Evie all the time. It's a better name than Freya IMO.
