I’m vvv fussy w names.
First baby, a little girl. Due 16th September!
And the only name I adore, always have is Everly!
Everly Violet / Everly Rose / Everly Hope / Everly Lyla
Are all in the running, with Rose as mn being my favourite.
I think it’s so pretty, unusual but not ridiculous, or pretentious.
I like Ever or Ev as nn.
DP loves it too, as do the 2 friends I’ve told. Not gonna tell my mam and nan until she’s born as they are... v opinionated :)
So, did a quick google search of ‘Everly mumsnet’ and ummm, it seems 9/10 MNers hate it - despise it with passion in fact!
I am aware it is Beverly without B, Everly brothers etc... but is it rlly that bad?
And if it truly is horrific, any other suggestions?
I don’t like Evelyn. Prefer modern, unique names.
TIA

I absolutely love it! Don't let people put you off names, everyone quickly gets used to it anyway, good luck Smilexx

I like it, for all the same reasons you do.

It’s lovely!

I really like it!

Colourfulest · 23/08/2019 21:02

I don't like it but it's just not my taste. Me and my DP love unusual names but even he pulled a face when he heard the name Everly at our dd's tumble tots group!

justrestinginmybankaccount · 23/08/2019 21:02

It’s a surname isn’t it?

Jamhandprints · 23/08/2019 21:03

It's fine.

Elpheba · 23/08/2019 21:04

It's kind of ok, not my scene, but go for it if you love it!

MrsBertBibby · 23/08/2019 21:07

Hideous.

MitziK · 23/08/2019 21:07

Nice enough - I did always like the Everley Brothers.

But there are a whole bunch of them on YouTube/Instagram Mommy Blogs. Mostly Mennonites, so fairly inoffensive (if you're religious) but there are lots - will you be having the almost obligatory Kaeden or Jaxon next?

Jojo19834 · 23/08/2019 21:07

Love it!

firstimemamma · 23/08/2019 21:08

If you like it then who cares what other people think? You can't please everyone. Smile

Durexdoggy · 23/08/2019 21:08

Brothers.
Not keen but it’s not horrific. Better than Vulcan

Cillmantain · 23/08/2019 21:08

Its awful
Sorry

liinnnua · 23/08/2019 21:09

Better reaction than I expected, to be honest...
