Has Evie declined in popularity?

Or is it still very popular? There was a point between 2008-2012 when it felt as though every other little girl was named Evie, but I haven’t heard it for a while.

I haven't heard it much and I really like it.

SizzlerFizzler · 09/08/2022 20:53

looks like it's past its peak but still pretty popular

I work in a school with 300 kids. We had one Evie and she's away to high school now.

Think the new baby lists are usually published by ONS in the next month.

The Evie’s I know (teacher) are all now aged 14+. There are quite a few Eve’s and Evelyn’s in Reception and Yr 1, but no actual Evie’s AFAIK.

AgathaMystery · 09/08/2022 21:03

Nope. Every other newborn is an Evie. Still.

qlpa · 09/08/2022 21:09

I know a lot of Evie's who are young

qlpa · 09/08/2022 21:09

Young as in under 10

Carrieonmywaywardsun · 09/08/2022 21:21

Evie, Evelyn, etc are so over used

PancakesWithCheese · 09/08/2022 21:50

Still loads of Evie’s at our school. And Evelyn’s.

DuchessOfSausage · 10/08/2022 08:47

The figures for Evie will almost certainly be misleading as an Evie might be Eve, Evelyn, Evelina, Everley or Evangeline on the BC.

That is sort of the point, as children at primary school now will have been born between 2017 and 2011. I was wondering if it’s declining for babies being born now, not five years ago.

Don't know about statistically but I know 2 1 year old Evie's. They are both Evelyn on birth certificate but only ever called Evie.

Louise0701 · 10/08/2022 09:24

I only know 1 Evie and she’s 14 now.

I think I started to hear a lot of girls called Evie around 2008.

Evie, along with Ellie, Izzie etc, seems to be falling slowly out of fashion. It may well sound quite 'dated' soon.

Purplemoon19 · 10/08/2022 11:07

I know two Evelyn’s born in the last 3 months who both go by Evie

prepared101 · 10/08/2022 11:09

My Evie was born in 2008. She was named after a grandparent and a great grandparent (Evelyn) and I assumed the popularity at the time was because lots of girls were named in a similar vein.

Homer28 · 10/08/2022 11:11

My niece Evie was born in 2019.

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/08/2022 00:35

It might be slightly passed the peak but still going pretty strong I’d say, especially the Evelyn variation. They all end up being called Evie anyways.

KayEmAy · 12/08/2022 15:14

Still pretty popular unfortunately, I think because it's a nickname for so many names -

Evelyn, Eve, Evangeline, Everly ect

I wish it wasn't, I've been obsessed with it since The Mummy haha

J3110 · 12/08/2022 22:11

I have an almost 5 year old named Evie Sophia x

IggyAce · 12/08/2022 22:13

I know 3 Evie’s they are 15, 10 and 5.

MsTSwift · 13/08/2022 23:24

Christ this is one to avoid. A lovely chat with my teen about her friends today

Evie is so lovely
Evie is moving to private school
Im meeting up with Evie tomorrow
Evie is back from holiday on Monday

All different girls!!! It’s like someone passed a law and the name Evie now means girl. Terribly confusing. The point of a name is to identify a person and Evie fails on that. It’s like Sarah in the 70s
