Evelyn?

[trixiechick]

what do you think?

Nice

one of those names that is pretty but almost irrevocably linked to old lady status. Could be due a come back though.

Evie is very sweet.

my three year old daughter is Evelyn, love it

DD2 here is Eibhlín (we're in Ireland) and it really suits her. We don't shorten her name but get called Evelina sometimes too ...

Pretty and elegant.

thats a nice name. never really thought about it before.

Lovely.

really lovely. i like it shortened to Evvie rather than Evie as there are quite a few Evies in my area at the mo

I like it but cannot get used to people saying "Eevelyn", to me it is "Evvelyn".

Don't like it. It strikes me as trying to choose something different, but at the same time liking Eve or Evie as everyone else does.

And how would you pronounce it? eve-lyn?

I love it. I want to use it if we have a girl. It is beautiful.

I like it, but than my mum is called the german version of the name....however, she always has hated her name...but then, I suppose many people feel like that about their own name...
I think Eva and Eve is very pretty, too

fairlady - what is the german version out of interest?

Eveline

Its a lovely name, was my grandma's middle name and also used for my sister's middle name.

You can shorten it to eve or evie so she'd have a trendy name now but can have a choice about a more formal name when she is older.

btw our family says 'Evvelyn', but strangers or people phoning quite often use 'Eevelyn'.

is Eveline pronounced as it looks ie EVER-LINE or EVV-LYN?

I love this name! It's unusual (as in not common) but timeless. One of my sisters is called it (she was named after a great aunt). We say 'Evvelyn' and shorten it to "Evvie" rather than "Evie".

lovely name.. but I am biased!

I pronounce it Evvlynn but spelt evelyn.

I get Evie a lot.

Really lovely name but there are so many Evie's about at the moment if you're thinking of shortening it?

Evelyn is lovely.

Don't like it as Ever-Line. That's the way old maiden aunts used to say it when I was a child. Eve-Lyn is much nicer.

sort of like Ever-lee-neh

I like it as long as it's Eve-lyn, don't like Ever-lyn, sounds like trying too hard.

Everyone automatically says Evv-lyn here in Ireland, so we're saved from Ever-lyn which is not so nice.
