  1. Eva Aurelia Joy.....surname
  2. Aurelia Evelyn Joy.....surname
  3. Grace Evelyn Aurelia....surname
  4. Ivy Evelyn Joy....surname

Slightly shocked by how high Grace is on the lists that have been released.
What are you thoughts or any other ways to put these combinations of names together - requirement is that Evelyn needs to be in there but not as a first name. If as a first name it would be honoured as Evelyn. I would only consider using Grace as a first and not as middle name.

Joy is also a family name however it’s doesn’t ‘need’ to be included the way I would like Evelyn to be.

I only like Joy and Ivy.

The others are overused imo.

Trevorina · 27/08/2020 10:49

Ivy Aurelia Joy flows better imo

@Lebkuchenlove ok thanks for your feedback - what girls names do you think are nice but not overused?

I think Joy is beautiful and not overused!

Personally I also like Helena and Cecilia, but you may have a different taste Smile

Love Aurelia Grace and Ivy

Eva u like but find it quite similar to Evie, Ada etc , so it feels more popular than it actually is

Of the first names, I only like Grace.
Eva has been overused, Ivy is similar but a clinging weed.
Aurelia is too princessy and whiny sounding.

I don't see the need for middle names, but seeing as they are honouring someone then fair enough. Not keen on either mn though.

Vote goes to number 3.

I like Ivy and Grace. Agree with pp, Aurelia is whiny.

Spied · 27/08/2020 12:39

I'd go with Grace Evelyn.
I really wouldn't add anything else.

daisypond · 27/08/2020 13:11

From your first names, Grace is the only one I like, so number 3.

I’m not sure if lists of published names include all names given to children, or just first names - ie, Grace might be high up because it’s used as a name, but in fact it’s a middle name, so isn’t as common as it appears.

IsolaPribby · 27/08/2020 13:14

I would go for simply Evelyn Joy.

brads88 · 27/08/2020 13:29

Number 2!

  1. Aurelia Evelyn Joy.....surname

Especially since you've shown a preference for the family names to be included, I think this flows nicely (even if you choose to drop joy) 😊

threecatsandcounting · 27/08/2020 13:37

I agree with PP, simply Evelyn Joy is the best combination. Grace, Eva and Ivy are all boring and Aurelia is as PP have said, whiny.
Evelyn is a lovely name and was on our list for a while until we settled on something else. Joy is also a really nice name that you don't hear often, I've only met one Joy in my life who was born in the 90s.

nc600 · 27/08/2020 13:41

Evelyn Joy

RobinRose · 27/08/2020 14:15

I like Ivy Evelyn Joy, I think it flows nicely

mintich · 27/08/2020 14:16

2 is my favourite!

WildCherryBlossom · 27/08/2020 14:28

I like Aurelia Evelyn Joy best. It flows beautifully.

CakeRattleandRoll · 27/08/2020 15:56

My favourite is choice 1.
Followed by choice 4.

Oneandabean · 27/08/2020 15:56

Definitely ivy Evelyn joy, not keen on the others and they are so overused

LarkDescending · 27/08/2020 16:47

3 is my favourite, but if allowed I would tweak it to Grace Evelyn Joy.

itsgettingweird · 27/08/2020 16:54

Evelyn Ivy Joy

Because you want Evelyn!

Otherwise I'd go for

Grace Ivy Joy

Ivy Grace Joy

Joy Ivy Grace

TheMarzipanDildo · 27/08/2020 16:57
