Pronunciation of Evelyn???

[squanderer]

Eve-lyn, Ever-lyn or is it something else? Which one is the most commonly used?

Thanks

I say Eve-lyn

Eve-lyn. It's my mum's name.

Eve-lyn

I would say Ev-er-lyn. Is that wrong?

Eve-lyn here too. It was my Grandmothers name and is DDs middle name

I would say Ev-eh-lyn........but that's the Irish way.....

same as waynetta. Only ever met one and she was ev-ah-lyn.

ev-ah-lyn.
( but my family are Irish too)

My mum would be most unhappy to be called Ev-er-lin. Or Ev-lin, or Eeva-lin, which is how some people pronounce it. Someone even pronounced it Evil Lyn once.

Tis a bag of worms as a name, I can tell you that!

I would say Eve-lyn, it was my grandmother's name and that's how she pronounced it. I think Ev-eh-lyn is much more common in Ireland though, I remember that the priest at my grandmother's funeral kept referring to her as Ev-eh-lyn even though he had been told beforehand that it was Eve-lyn.

EVE-lyn, in my opinion But remember she will be having this conversation with everyone she meets all her life - which is probably a good reason for not using the name!

I know an Eve-lyn and Eva-lyn. I suppose it depends on which you like better, is it for your baby??

Eve-lyn. Ever-lyn is American pronunciation.

I know an Eve-lyn and an Ev-lin. Personal choice I think.

Ev lin from me too, and I'm Scottish.

I know a few Evelyns here in Ireland and they are all Ev-uh-len.
Obviously a cultural thing!

I always thought it was Eve-lyn for a guy and Ever-lyn for a girl.

(or Ev-lyn for a girl, soft 'e' anyway)

I don't get why it would be pronounced "Everlyn" when there is no R in it

Ev-lin here as well - and I'm also in Scotland.... a theme seems to be emerging.

Yup, have a scottish friend who we all call Eve, but her sister always calls her Ev lin.

i only know it as
ev-eh-lin

I have this as a middle name

mine is promounced eeev - lyn

ev a lin
