Upset over baby name

[Namechangedsothere]

My 6 month old daughter is called Evelyn. I like her name but I feel like I’m saying it wrong and now every time I say it out loud I am cringing and it’s really making me doubt her name. I’m saying it a bit like ‘Ev-uh-Lin’ when my sister keeps saying it’s Ev-lin (two syllables) out of interest how would you say it and does ‘Ev-uh-lin’ sound wrong to you?

It's my dd's name and I say it the same way you do

Eev - lin is a boys' name. Your pronunciation is correct for a girl.

I think either (eether /eyethr ) way is acceptable, but I would say It your way OP, asbitvwasmy grandmother’s name.

I've only heard it pronounced Eve-lin. Never heard the ev-lin version. Now I'm worried I've been pronouncing all the Evelyn's I've ever taught incorrectly! Like many names you'll always get someone who pronounces it differently. Tell your sister to stop bringing it up as it's upsetting you. It's a lovely name whatever way you pronounce it.

This is my name - I say Ev-lin. But there are different ways to say it si just tell your sister which way you prefer.

It’s a lovely elegant name. I agree with pps 3 syllables for a girl, 2 for a boy.

She’s your daughter though so your sister should politely follow your lead regardless.

My name is pronounced correctly with two syllables however occasionally I find people trying to shoe horn another syllable in there. It doesn’t bother me overly as long as they get the spelling correct.

I’ve only ever known it with two syllables.

I prefer it with two syllables the way your sister pronounces it. Eve-lynn is okay as well. The three syllable pronunciation doesn't come naturally to me, sounds a bit forced. Might be a regional accent thing possibly.

I'd say Ev er lin. Three syllables.
The older pronounciation is Eev lin though. It's like Mount Everest is actually meant to be Eev Rest but nobody says it like that.

The older pronounciation is Eev lin though.

The masculine pronunciation is eev-lin.

I have a 5 yr old Evelyn, pronounced ev ah Lyn. I don't mind the ev-Lyn pronunciation but hate it when people call her eve-Lyn

I pronounce it your way op.

I say it as you do. Also, you decide how people should pronounce it as you named her! I would also say that ev-uh-lin was the feminine version and eve-lyn the masculine.
