I don't know any. I love the name but the different ways of saying it put me off.

Eve-lyn
Ever - lyn
Ev-lyn

Which one were you thinking?

3 adults: one Eva (EH-vah), one Evy (EH-vee), and one whose name must not be shortened.

1 child: Evelyn or Evvie (but she's not yet school age so not sure what they will ask for her to be called at school).

3 - one older adult never shortened. The other two are under 6 and both ‘Evie’ at the moment. I love the name. I love it most unshortened.

Quite a few here (Cheshire). Mostly pre-school age although there are also lots of Evie's in my DC primary school. I love the name but it's very popular at the moment - when combined with the number of Evies it's by far the number 1 common name at the no here.

Quite a few, popular name here in Ireland. Went to school with a few (all in their 30s now). Pn Ev-elyn. I've never ever heard the name been shortened to anything even in the school yard.

I know three. Two are 2 and one is 1 :)

All go by Evelyn pronounced ever-lyn. I don't know if that will change once they start school though

1 adult who gets her full name but I only know her professionaly. 1 baby who I call Evie which is un heard of for me as I hate nick names shortening names. But it suits her

I know three, all aged 8. One goes by the name Evie, the others are Evelyn. One pronounces it Ev-el-yn, the other two Eve-lyn. I don't know any older or younger.

Several. All Evies. All subjected to the Ever-lyn/Eve-lyn? confusion.
