Francesca is my favourite.

Savannah is meh.
Evelyn clashes.
Orva Evans doesn't flow very well imho.

Lauren942 · 22/11/2017 22:58

thankyou. Francesca is my favourite too, my partner not so much lol

Love Francesca! You could nick name her Frankie Smile Evelyn is lovely but does clash with your surname, she’d be Evie Evie. Congrats on your baby x

Francesca

Lauren942 · 22/11/2017 23:01

Yes! So happy everyone is agreeing so far lol.. I'm gonna shove these under the oh nose Grin yes we had that exact conversation Evelyn is not a option I don't think. Thankyou x

Francesca . Evelyn Evans is too much of a mouthful. Susannah?

NoSquirrels · 22/11/2017 23:01

Have you considered Orla rather than Orva (the vee sound clashes with your surname I think).

Lauren942 · 22/11/2017 23:03

Not keen on susannah thankyou though

Lauren942 · 22/11/2017 23:04

Francesca is fine
Savannah -quite nice but a bit fancy
Evelyn is fine too (but not with your surname)
Orva - is awful.

SummerRoberts · 22/11/2017 23:30

Definitely Francesca. Beautiful name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/11/2017 01:14

I quite like Evelyn with Evans.
I went to school with a Donna Donnelly

PandaCat · 23/11/2017 07:40

I like Evelyn the most, but I'm biased as DD2 is going to be Evelyn. Plus I'm not sure Evelyn Evans is a good idea.

So I'd go with Savnnah or Francesca!

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/11/2017 07:56

Francesca is far the best imo

Evelyn is nice but does clash to many Evs

LionsTigersBeers · 23/11/2017 08:06

Francesca by a mile.
Really don't like Orva but do like Orla as someone has suggested. Orla Evans is a cute name.

Holyknight · 23/11/2017 08:56

Francesca all the way. Beautiful, elegant, adaptable (Frankie, Frank, Cesca ) and timeless name. Orva sounds like Ova, and Evelyn is lovely but not with Evans so much. Savannah a bit try hard and American soap characterish imo.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/11/2017 09:43

I like Evelyn Evans best, then Orla Evans.

MammieBear · 23/11/2017 10:03

Francesca seems to flow best with surname.

HouseworkIsASin10 · 23/11/2017 10:10

Francesca is lovely.

Littlehouseonthepraririe · 23/11/2017 10:55

Orva and Savannah are not great names (imo) sorry!
Francesca and Evelyn much better. The latter very popular atm

CAAKE · 23/11/2017 10:56

I love Evelyn Evans. I think it's quite striking.

Zoesweet · 23/11/2017 11:04

Savannah here! :)

ButterflyForest · 23/11/2017 14:02

Evelyn definitely doesn't sound right with your surname.

Out of the other three-
Savannah- my favourite of the three
Francesca- nice and classic but maybe a bit bland
Orva- never heard this before, reminds me of 'vulva' (sorryGrin)

starkid · 23/11/2017 14:55

I like Savannah :)

Silverthorn · 23/11/2017 15:00

I prefer Savannah but is a bit of a tongue twister with Evans. Francesca Evans is better. Don't like Orva. Evelyn does not go with Evans.
