We were curious to know what nicknames anyone had for the name Evie, yes I already know this is a short name that doesn't need to be any shorter but still interested to know :)

My daughters called Evie and it's not a nn - it's her full name. She has lots of nicknames but none related to her name.

We have a male version with Evan. He is often called everly-beverly-boo.
Also goes by Bips!
Mostly, his mates call him ‘Evan’.

Evie?

Whimsy14 · 23/07/2021 10:05

Evie is short for Evelyn.

PaolaDiLorenzo · 23/07/2021 10:05

I know one who is called Effy as a nn.

@Whimsy14

Evie is short for Evelyn.
Evie is short for Evelyn if your name os Evelyn. If your birth cert states Evie Jones then its just your name
Bryonyshcmyony · 23/07/2021 11:34

Evie is a nickname already

The correct name is Eve or Evelyn

WorldsBestBoss · 23/07/2021 11:35

Not saying you can't name your child a nickname - but asking for a nickname of a name that is already a nickname / derivative of a traditional name (lovely as it is) - you've already shortened it so why shorten it more?

How are you reckoning that Evie is a nickname for Eve? Hmm
Terrazzo · 23/07/2021 12:43

@FuckingHateRats

It's so short I'd probably lengthen it for a nickname.

Evie-bells
Evangeline
Evie-line etc etc

My daughter is called Annabel, which is almost always shortened to Bel, which is affectionately lengthened to Belvedere, Belarus, Belford. Poor child.

🤣

OP I like Vivi! Cute!

AndeanMountainCat · 23/07/2021 12:44

Evie Rabbit

Evie Wonder

Bryonyshcmyony · 23/07/2021 12:46

Nicknames don't have to be shorter

Evie is a nickname for Eve as Susie is for Susan or Jeannie for Jean

KirstenBlest · 23/07/2021 12:46

Um, like Gracie is a nn for Grace.

Viviennemary · 23/07/2021 12:46

Its already a nickname. But you can make up whatever one you like. Evelyn maybe. Or Stevie.

Bryonyshcmyony · 23/07/2021 12:46

There's a billion Evies

Eve is so much nicer

soooooooG · 23/07/2021 12:53

You don't pick a nickname, they develop organically.

nocturnalcatfreetogoodhome · 23/07/2021 12:55

Not on MN. Here you write it in stone before the child is born. I agree with you. It's weird 'forcing' a nickname. My children have nicknames bestowed on them from various people in different parts of their lives.
CharleyChook · 23/07/2021 18:50

Evie is a nickname isn’t it? You could shorten Evie to Eve or E I guess? Not much point though lol
