Avilyn?

Does anyone like the name Avilyn? I love it but my husband is not sold. It’s pronounced like [name]Evelyn[/name] but with an A. I like this spelling so it can be shorted to [name]Avi[/name] for a nickname.

I don’t care for it that much- sorry. The spelling is unappealing to me, and it reminds me of many trendy names at the moment ending with lyn. For the nickname [name]Avi[/name] there’s always [name]Aviva[/name].

[name]How[/name] about [name]Aveline[/name]? The spelling is more streamlined, and I prefer the sound. [name]Aviva[/name] is also pretty.

I’m not such a fan. If you like the [name]Avi[/name] nickname I might consider [name]Avery[/name]. Otherwise I think I’d just stick with the [name]Evelyn[/name] spelling.

I prefer [name]Aveline[/name]. I don’t pronounce it the same as [name]Evelyn[/name]; I pronounce [name]Evelyn[/name] ev-lynn and Avilyn avv-ih-lynn.

It looks too much like “Evil”. [name]Aveline[/name] is nice, or [name]Aviva[/name].

I don’t mind it. I do prefer it spelling Avelyn or [name]Aveline[/name]. You could still use [name]Avi[/name] as a nickname for both of those. I wouldn’t recommend using an unorthodox spelling just to make the nickname more intuitive.

I like it if pronounced with the long A sound. I also have to second the name [name]Avery[/name].

I agree [name]Aveline[/name] is much nicer and not made up looking.

I like [name]Evelyn[/name] a lot more, Avilyn just looks too strange for me. [name]Aveline[/name] is a good alternative and you can still call her [name]Avi[/name]. I think [name]Avi[/name] as a nickname works fine for any name beginning with av.

read reading this I definetly like the spelling of [name]Aveline[/name] a lot more! It looks more feminine.

Nice one. Prefer [name]Aveline[/name].

[name]Aveline[/name] is better but if you insist on Avilyn at least spell it Avelyn.
