How many do you know?
Is the only (inevitable) nn Evie? :/

[Decemberly]

My MIL is an Evelyn and sometimes gets ‘Effie’ for short

[junebirthdaygirl]

One who is nearly 2, one who is 26. Both never shortened.And one who is 60 and called Ev by her sisters but full name by everyone else. Lovely name.

[Binglejellies]

At DD’s nursery there are 4 and they all have different spellings.

[TheGhostOfYou]

Only my own, almost 9 months old

[Yogagirl123]

Only one, my of my favourite girls names though.

[Yogagirl123]

Hehe one of my favourite girls names.

[PetraRabbit]

I think 2 but both are 'birth certificate only' and called Evie in everyday life.

[wrapsuperstar]

I know three (none mine) aged 7, 5 and 4. Older two are known by full name, youngest nicknamed Evs....

[needsanewname]

Over the past 5 months or so, I've known 5 people name their baby girl Evelyn, it's definitely rising up the ranks and think it's the next Evie.

I like both names but I hate popular names, that may be because my own name, although not unusual, is very uncommon.

[WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup]

None. South East.

[needsanewname]

I'm in Yorkshire and 3 of the babies are also in Yorkshire, other 2 are outside but still North.

[WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup]

Do know an Aibhlinn though which is similar but much nicer imo.

[E20mom]

Lots in London

[Owlish]

One. My 79 year old MIL.

As an aside, this is the first time I've commented on a baby name thread. I'm 52 and childless 

[Owlish]

Oh, FIL sometimes calls her Ev and we're in the north east. Not that it matters, I guess.

[SallyWD]

1 in Norfolk who is 5. Think she's always called Evelyn

[Cbeebiesrehab]

I have an Evelyn. Know of one other-who gets called Evelyn as a full. My daughter is Effie day to day.

[RedStarBlueStar]

My sister is a Brownie leader and currently has 5! She says 3 are Evie, 1 is just Evelyn and the other is Lynnie (which I think is quite cute).

They also have another three or four Evie’s (a mix of Eve’s & Eva’s)

Plus several Niamh’s and Ava’s

[RedStarBlueStar]

(This is SE, Home Counties)

[Rebecca36]

I think it is a lovely name! Evie, Eve or Eva - or even Lyn - are good nicknames.

[Belindabauer]

Quite a few of primary school age.

[patsywineeyedwillie]

I only know one, my dd(1).

She just gets called Evelyn mostly but sometimes Ev. I'm in the north west. I have overheard 2 people whist out and about call their child Evelyn though. I love the name!

[deptfordgirl]

Loads

[MikeUniformMike]

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

[Childrenofthesun]

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.
