Has a sister, Eliza, and love the names Fraser and Evan. Which would work better? And is Evan a bit more popular? Toughest decision as both seem nice. Think Fraser is a mouthful next to Eliza, so shall we play it safe? Sorry, this will be my last!!!

Fraser.

Funnybunnyfluff · 16/11/2019 22:27

Fraser 😁

feelingsinister · 16/11/2019 22:32

I prefer Evan but I knew a bit of an arsehole called Fraser and love Evan Dando. 😄

DramaAlpaca · 16/11/2019 22:33

I'd choose Evan.

MrsNoMopp · 17/11/2019 00:05

Evan is much nicer than Fraser.

Astronica · 17/11/2019 03:13

I prefer Fraser.

dontlickthelamp · 17/11/2019 04:06

I prefer Evan

porridgeface · 17/11/2019 04:17

Fraser

IVEgotthesparklersBIATCH · 17/11/2019 04:18

Prefer Fraser but dont think it sounds great with Eliza

EmmaGrundyForPM · 17/11/2019 04:32

I don't think either of them work.well with Eliza. Sorry.

LookAtWhatYouCouldHaveWon · 17/11/2019 05:04

Prefer Evan

Alicewond · 17/11/2019 05:06

Fraser is awful 🤢

indigo13 · 17/11/2019 05:21

I like Fraser, it sounds ok with Eliza. You'd rarely say them next to each other, more like "this is Eliza and this is Fraser", see, perfect! Evan seems a bit bland in comparison to both names above

Yes, that's what I thought. Evan does seem bland of the two. Thanks everybody!

Eliza is lovely, I don't think either of them go.

joystir59 · 17/11/2019 08:11

Fraser is horrible

newdeer · 17/11/2019 08:12

I like Fraser but both names end with a 'zuh' sound (if that matters)

BlouseAndSkirt · 17/11/2019 08:14

I don’t think either go with Eliza.
Fra-za
Eli-za

Or two kids with the same initial / surname

malfoylovespotter · 17/11/2019 08:17

Fraser is horrific!

Evan.

Timetobegood · 17/11/2019 08:20

I like Evan and only know one. I don’t know why it’s not more popular. Not keen on Fraser.

KatherineJaneway · 17/11/2019 08:25

Fraser.

Collision · 17/11/2019 08:26

Fraser

Those who dont like the names...do you have any nicer suggestions to go with Eliza that are very uncommon but match? Thank you!

lorrylorryvanvan · 17/11/2019 08:34

They're both quite awful IMO but each to their own. If I had to choose I'd go with Fraser because Evan is just terrible!

BikeRunSki · 17/11/2019 08:38

I like them both, but prefer Fraser. I like Frazer (that spelling) better though.
Other suggestions - Fergus, Angus, Ewan, Malachi, Giles
