I think I like it but my 9 month pregnant hormones are clouding my judgement. I wanted something not super common but not to out there - is this it?

Love it. I think of Evan as being dignified and kind.

RoderickRules · 02/04/2018 19:42

I have known two.

I think it’s a lovely name.

I have a little blonde hair, blue eyed three year old Evan..he is just the cutest, most intelligent little boy. It's taken me three years to warm to his name - (exDH picked it) but now I wouldn't change it for the world 😬

I love it.my 9 year old has a lovely classmate with this name. It goes with ever stage of life:great choice

notacooldad · 02/04/2018 19:46

I know a couple of teenage Evan's and they are brilliant young people so I am warm to the name.

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 02/04/2018 20:12

I don't know any but think Evan is a lovely name

CPtart · 02/04/2018 20:37

Love it. Was on our shortlist.

BrutusMcDogface · 02/04/2018 20:40

It's on our list, too Smile

Sophronia · 02/04/2018 20:41

I like it!

mamalovebird · 02/04/2018 20:42

I know 2. Great name.

pepperpop · 02/04/2018 20:43

I know a little 10 week old Evan, I think it's a lovely name. Not super common but not too crazy!

zeebeedee · 03/04/2018 12:15

Evan and Owen were on my list for all 3 of my DSs.

(DH vetoed as being too long every time - He had a thing about one syllable names, so now all three of our boys have 1 syllable names!!!)

It's lovely

stellinaa · 03/04/2018 12:44

Love the name Evan!

timeistight · 03/04/2018 12:46

Another thumbs up from me.

MatchsticksForMyEyesReturns · 03/04/2018 12:48

DS is Evan. He's the only one in his school. I love it, obviously. I overruled ex H's choice to name him that.

Ginandplatonic · 03/04/2018 12:49

Love it! Was on my list but vetoed by DH.

Extremely popular here in Wales. I've taught loads.

squoosh · 03/04/2018 12:50

Makes me think of 90s era Evan Dando. And that is a nice thought.

I love it!

Highhorse1981 · 03/04/2018 12:51

Very very dull

MammieBear · 03/04/2018 12:51

Sweet name

Vintagegirl77 · 03/04/2018 14:09

It's lovely. We couldn't use it so went for Ewan instead which is sort of similar.

SandysMam · 03/04/2018 14:14

I’m not keen, reminds me of the clothes shop!

Trooperslane2 · 03/04/2018 14:14

Evan Dando

How much cooler can you get?

Do it!

nivky · 03/04/2018 16:18

My nephew is Evan and so I am completely biased but it’s a gorgeous name for a handsome little boy. Would totally have taken it if it wasn’t already in the family.
