Devin or Devyn?

Girl Names
1

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you consider this name to be for girls or is it generally more boys that have it? Some people have said [name_u]Devyn[/name_u] looks more feminine but i prefer [name_u]Devin[/name_u] i think. It would be an honour name to [name_m]Dave[/name_m] (not [name_m]David[/name_m], his given name was just [name_m]Dave[/name_m]) can [name_u]Devin[/name_u]/[name_u]Devyn[/name_u] even work as a name to honour a [name_m]Dave[/name_m]? What middles would you pair with it?

Heres a list of other names we like but feel free to use middles of your own as i think very few on our list actually go with [name_u]Devin[/name_u]/[name_u]Devyn[/name_u]

[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (pron loo-see-uh)
[name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Leilani[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Gianna[/name_f]

Thanks

[name_u]Devin[/name_u] is very masculine to me (although that may be because I’ve only ever met male Devins) and I think it is similar enough to [name_m]Dave[/name_m] to be used as an honour name.

I prefer [name_u]Devin[/name_u] over [name_u]Devyn[/name_u], because [name_u]Devyn[/name_u] looks misspelled imo.

Combos from your options:
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_u]Devin[/name_u]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f] [name_u]Devin[/name_u]

Other suggestions:
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Xena[/name_f]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Devin[/name_u]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_u]Devin[/name_u]

I think it works and would definitely do [name_u]Devin[/name_u] over [name_u]Devyn[/name_u]. Ys don’t a feminine name make as they say.

I know a female [name_u]Devon[/name_u] who wears it well, that could be another choice?

4

I prefer [name_u]Devin[/name_u] as the y just seems like you are trying to be tryndy

5

I prefer [name_u]Devin[/name_u] out of the two as well.
The only person I know with the name is a female spelled [name_u]Devon[/name_u], which is my favourite spelling. I definitely think it works.
I like [name_u]Devon[/name_u] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] best as a full name from your list.

I think of it as a traditionally male name, but all the Devins I know are girls and they spell it [name_u]Devin[/name_u] or [name_u]Devon[/name_u]. I like the [name_u]Devin[/name_u] spelling myself.

From your list of middles, I like [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] the best. I think I like that it makes the unisex first name more feminine, but it’s not long or frilly enough to be a total mismatch from the unisex first name. [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Serena[/name_f] is also nice. You might like:

[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Brielle[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Elyse[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Leona[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Mallory[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Rachel[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Regina[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]

I think it works as an honor name for [name_m]Dave[/name_m].

I prefer [name_u]Devin[/name_u] to [name_u]Devyn[/name_u]. The y and the v next to each other in [name_u]Devyn[/name_u] looks a bit awkward.

[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]

[name_u]Devin[/name_u] seems a tiny bit of a stretch to honor [name_m]Dave[/name_m]. It is definitely not a direct connection. I would go with Davyn. However a better idea, since [name_u]Devin[/name_u] is a better name than [name_u]Davin[/name_u]/Davyn is to use the same initials for first and middle name if you know [name_m]Dave[/name_m]'s middle name. That’s how I was named to honor my grandfather.

Have you considered using one of the feminine forms of [name_m]David[/name_m] ([name_f]Davida[/name_f], Davette, [name_f]Davina[/name_f], Davinia) or one of the shorter forms of those feminizations ([name_u]Vida[/name_u], [name_f]Vina[/name_f])? Those all make more sense to me as a way to honor [name_m]David[/name_m] than [name_u]Devin[/name_u]. If you’re set on [name_u]Devin[/name_u], then definitely the [name_u]Devin[/name_u] spelling.

I also prefer [name_u]Devon[/name_u] and have known mainly female Devons, so it’s more feminine than masculine to me. It’s such a lovely name and I think it works as an honour name.

11

I prefer [name_u]Devon[/name_u] to [name_u]Devin[/name_u]/[name_u]Devyn[/name_u] because I’ve never liked the look of the y and the v next to each other. It is a stretch as an honour name, maybe go for a feminization of [name_m]David[/name_m] as others have suggested?

I like it spelled [name_u]Devon[/name_u]. I went to high school with a beautiful girl named [name_u]Devon[/name_u] with that spelling.
