STRAW POLL - Down to 2 names...

[wombatsears]

We are down to 2 names for DD due soon:

Evelyn
Or
Anoushka

Opinions?

Evelyn.
Love it.
Dd was almost an Evelyn but was colleagues name so didn't go with it in the end.

Evelyn

Anoushka all the way

Evelyn is lovely but becoming very popular if that bothers you.

Evelyn 100%

Evelyn is very classy.

Evelyn will probably be shortened to Eve and Anoushka to Noosh. Does that help?

Evelyn

Is it Ever Lynn or Eve lynn?

Anoushka or even better, Anouk.

Evelyn is so dreary.

Anoushka. Evelyn is nice but there are so many Evies.

Anoushka

There are small Evies everywhere

So

Evelyn - not a fan of shortening to Evie as so many girls called that now. Eve is nicer. Don't want a faddish name...

Anoushka - I like because it's different. Wanted Anouk but DP vetoed. However, think Noush is sweet and could become Anna or Anouk when older if she chooses?

Evelyn for me. The little Anoushkas I've known have all been Indian - where does the name come from?

Anoushka

So much nicer.

where does the name come from?

It is an Indian name but also a Russian nickname for Anna.

We are neither Russian nor Indian btw but I like that it is from other cultures..

Anoushka it’s pretty and I like the nn options. Evelyn is quite popular plus people may pronounce it wrong Ev-Lyn or Eve-Lyn

I really like Evelyn I think it's so pretty.

Anoushka for the reasons others have said re commonality of Evie. Plus I really don’t like the name Evelyn, always reminds me of evil Edna from Wilow the Wisp

Anoushka- Evelyn is a bit dreary and old fashioned

Evelyn wins for me as it’s my daughters BC name-but she is neither Evie nor Eve :)

Find Anoushka a bit of a mouthful sorry

Anoushka. Love it and so many great nn options.

Anoushka. Beautiful!

I pronounce it eva-lin so I would never shorten it to eve!

Evelyn :)
