Evie is pretty,Libby is a bit wishy washy - love Jane

By the way have no idea if I'm having a girl yet but the deal is the DH names a boy and I name a girl!!! I really liked Lois but he has already vetoed that. jane is my middle name and Elizabeth is a family name so trying to maintain some tradition.

Evie Jane would be good

Blondie79 · 04/03/2009 13:23

Lois is a fab name - it's a shame your DH won't agree to it.

MadreInglese · 04/03/2009 13:24

You could always go for Elizabeth with Libby for short

oliviasmama · 04/03/2009 13:27

Evie Elizabeth, not Libby

rabuxton · 04/03/2009 13:33

Evie is nice, however there are 101 little girls running around named Eve Eva or Evie at the moment, it depends if a popular name is a problem to you or not.
I like Elizabeth, this has a lot of shorter names to choose from, Beth being my favorite.
I don't really have an opinion on Libby...

MrsMattie · 04/03/2009 13:48

I would always call an Evie Eve or Eva, and use Evie as nn, to be honest. Either way, much nicer than Libby Jane.

MaryAnnSingleton · 04/03/2009 13:52

Eve pronounced the French way is nice

Wolfblass · 04/03/2009 14:03

Now i love Libby - but would probably have Elizabeth and shorten too Libby!

Evie i'm not to keen on as know alot of people considering this and fear it's going to be extremely popular.

Libby Jane is lovely IMO!

mickeylou · 04/03/2009 14:11

I like Libby Jane a lot.

Evie is very very popular here.

Lois is also very nice - perhaps DH will warm to it.

frazzledoldbag · 04/03/2009 14:53

Libby Jane - much nicer and less commonly heard than Evie (pretty but there are sooooo many - around here anyway).
but I'd probably go for Elizabeth on the B.cert then shorten to Libby everyday.

WowOoo · 04/03/2009 15:19

Libby Jane

RachieB · 04/03/2009 16:03

Evie Elizabeth

crumpet · 04/03/2009 16:10

Elizabeth jane - but nn Libby

Heated · 04/03/2009 16:13

Ditto - Elizabeth Jane - Libby as a nn. Then she also has Eliza/Beth as a back-up!

dinkymum · 04/03/2009 16:17

both nice but if had to choose would have to say Libby Jane HTH xxx

lotspot · 04/03/2009 18:12

personally i think Elizabeth Jane is really good lol

or Evie Jane

not keen on Evie Elizabeth tbh

and prefer Libby as a nickname for Elizabeth, in which case Elizabeth Jane could be Libby Jane as a NN

After a long discussion we think we have changed our minds completely! We are now considering Tamsyn Laura (my name).

I think having Elizabeth after Evie makes a sound a bit too much like 'evil', sorry.

belgo · 05/03/2009 09:48

Yes I read the titel as Evil Elizabeth.

I would choose Elisabeth Jane, and use Libby as a nn.

belgo · 05/03/2009 09:49

Tamsyn Laura is nice

ilovepeppapig · 05/03/2009 10:14

Tamsin laura is lovely. also like elizabeth shortened to Beth. Laura is a fab name

lizmcfizz · 08/03/2009 05:42

Evie far, far too popular to the point where it is becoming boring. Why not go for Elisabeth (with s) Tamsin Elisabeth. I'm with an s and it's always been a bit different...
