Carissa or Evelyn

This is my second post on this baby as everyone was so helpful with the first! DH and I have narrowed it down to [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] or [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]. Big sister is named [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] because it’s so pretty…but love [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] ([name_f]Carrisa[/name_f]?) because girls would have the same initials and [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] are adorable nicknames. But I also see that name as kind of 90s? And [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is so timeless. What are your thoughts?

Carissa is beautiful and has a cool edge to it! [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is lovely, but to me [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] feels a bit more 90s than [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] is a gorgeous sibset!

I much prefer [name_f]Carissa[/name_f].

Not many names are timeless, and I don’t see [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] that way. After being ‘out’ for decades, having previously been popular in early C20th, it’s now very ‘in’. That’s not timeless. On the other hand a more unusual name like [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] (this spelling for sure) is more timeless I think as it is rarely used.

Evelyn!

I prefer [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].

I prefer [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].
I tutor these three kids who all have names that start with the letter C. I always mix up their names! It might not bother you though.

I love [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]!

I prefer [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and think [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] go well together.

I think [name_f]Carissa[/name_f]/Charlotte or [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]/Charlie are too matchy-matchy. If you want it to match, maybe choose something that can have [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] as a nickname but doesn’t start with a C. I think [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] are cute, though.

I know sisters named Ev3lyn and Ch@rlotte (although Ev3lyn is older in their set)! I prefer [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] personally but [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] matches better stylistically imo.

Prefer [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] to [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] but [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] over [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] if it’s a choice between these two.

I really like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]!

Carissa is beautiful, it may be a bit 90s, but I think it’d be refreshing to hear nowadays :slight_smile: [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] are adorable for sisters!

I feel [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] goes better with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], but I prefer [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] out of both names. (Why not [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] + [name_f]Evie[/name_f]?)

I’d vote [name_f]Carissa[/name_f]!

I think [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] would be a gorgeous sibset and I love the names together.

But personally I like the name [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] more, that’s why I voted that way!

EIther will be amazing!

II don’t think [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is a good match with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] is is better, but I don’t like the nicknames [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] together.

I’d like

Charlotte and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Gennie[/name_f] Or Vievie

Charlotte and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f].
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and CeCe
