Evelyn or Megan?

DH and I are at loggerheads debating these two names. I like the first, he likes the latter. I like Meg, not keen on Megan but DH says that Meg goes better with DS's name.

I don't want to discourage him as he has spent the last 23 weeks set on one name that I vetoed and refusing to budge so any movement in the name department is good.

So which do you prefer?

AND, if you like Evelyn, what other names do you like or possibly choose for your children as I love the name but feel strange using it?

Thanks!

Evelyn I am biased though.

I thought a famous actor was called Meredith, I might be wrong though (probably am). How about Eliza I think that is quite cute.

DD and DH think that it's Meredith for a female and Meredydd for a male.

Eliza is lovely.

Evelyn without a doubt

Megan is a lovely name. If you think it is too popular, how about using the middle name with it?

Megan-eve
Megan-rose

etc...

Had forgotten about this thread

Have started another now as DH and I have managed to agree to start afresh in the name search as we were clearly never going to agree so I do not have to consider Megan anymore, fortunately for me.

You can all come and post on my new name alliteration thread
