To go with our trendy favourite or a more classic choice?

[misslucy92]

We just can’t decide and this is our final list, we don’t have much time left:

Chloe
Sophie
Rosalind
Phoebe
Emily
Ruby
Everly

Everly or Everlee is our favourite right now. It doesn’t fit my usual style, but I love the sound and Everlee looks more like Ever + Lee than surname to me.

Not sure if we should go with what our heart tells us to or a more classic name.

Everlee / Everly is awful.

Everlee is a bit hillbilly. Everly looks better but is still a bit American, like Stacey.

Everlee looks like it should be an Aldi dupe brand of Dairylea, or maybe Elmlea

Definitely not Everlee, but if you love the name, Everly. I don't really like it personally, as it's just the Everly Brothers to me and just a surname. And as a first name looks like an odd misspelling of Every.

And Evvy would be the natural shortening, not Evie, as you don't say Eeverly, but Evverly.

OP- where is your list of trendy names? Or are you saying Everly IS the trendy one??? 😕

Is that is your preferred name, go with it and have a more classic middle name.

I say go with the name you really love. We visited America recently and met a lot of people with surnames as given names like Cooper, Kennedy etc. I truly have a soft spot for Americans. Despite all the teasing they get from us Europeans, they are awesome! I think the name Everly is perfect for an American girl, so why not on an English one? I'm not so keen on the spelling Everlee.

Usually I’d say go with your favourite, but I agree with lots of PPs that Everley (any spelling) isn’t nice.

If it was the right name, you wouldn’t be hesitating over it.

No it is not a classic. It’s a lump of a dated name, like Lesley.

I like Everly will go the same way OP, so I would go for one of the other (really nice) names on your list.

What about Everlene- it’s an Irish name that I would have named a daughter

Everly is lovely. Don't spell it Everlee though 😬

I loved Everly until someone said “oh so Beverly but without the B” 😩

Phoebe ❤️

Do you mean Aibhilin? Everlene is not an Irish name 🤷🏻‍♀️

Remember you’re not naming a baby, you’re naming a future adult. Pick the name that you like but make sure it’s going to stand up when she is an adult and needs to be taken seriously. Names give an impression of a person (whether right or wrong).

Phoebe is lovely, I love the Everly brothers but I wouldn't want to be named after them lol ( & it will always be mistaken for the dated Beverley imo)

What about Rosalie... Rosa for short

What about Rosalie... Rosa for short

Theyre all very bland. Everly sounds like youre mispronouncing Beverly. Rubys probably the nicest but still very common

I love Everly, but not the other spellings. If you wanted to use it as a middle name Rosalind Everly flows nicely, but it's lovely as a first name.

I love Everly :)

Sophie, Emily, Chloe in that order.
Can't stand Everlee.

Everly is ok but Everlee is awful sorry. Imagine having to spell it out for people for all time.
Ruby is my favourite classic on your list, the rest are very common or garden and Rosalind sounds rather old fashioned. Rosa I love though.

I wouldn’t ask this question on here. You just get peoples opinions which don’t matter, it’s only what you think that counts when it’s your child.

I wouldn't spell it Everlee. Looks dreadful. Like two separate words. Everly is nice though

I’m not keen on Everly, but I love Pheobe.
