Francesca is my favourite.

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

Lauren942 · 22/11/2017 22:58

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.
