Out of curiosity, [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think most Evelyns go by [name_f]Evie[/name_f]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you know any Evelyns? I see that it has risen a lot in popularity and I am wondering if that means the nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is also being used more.
Thanks!
I’ve known two Evelyns as far as I can remember. Both are around 16 years old so not named when the name was popular. Neither go by [name_f]Evie[/name_f], although one goes by [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I don’t think that [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] to [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is as natural as, say, [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] to [name_u]Abby[/name_u] or [name_u]Madison[/name_u] to [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]. You can be an [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] with no nickname.
I’m guessing that [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is more common as a nickname, especially after kids watched Disney’s Descendants last summer with a main character named [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. There are probably more Evelyns who have decided they liked the character and want to go by [name_f]Evie[/name_f] now, or moms watching with their kids who liked the idea of an [name_f]Evie[/name_f].
I’m considering [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] for a future daughter, and she will probably go by [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or just [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] 
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] can also be a cute nickname for [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] 
Good choice 
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] are all gorgeous.
I grew up with an [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and her nickname was [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. I know a few other Evelyns that go by that nickname as well.
I’ve seen a few young girls with the name [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], in elementary schools, and none of them have gone by any nicknames.

I have an auntie named [name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] and she goes by Ev.
I know one [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], and she is just [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].
I know of two women name [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], a 16yr old I’ve seen grow up throughout the years, and my grandmother’s 80yr old friend.
16yr old is sometimes called “Ev” as a pet name, but always [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] on paper.
80yr old is always just [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], no nickname.
I don’t know any [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]'s personally, but [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] are very common shortenings for it. (The “[name_f]Evie[/name_f]” I know is an [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]). It is a lovely name though, so I don’t think popularity would put me off it. It is somewhat of a beautiful classic.
I knew an [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] in grade-school and she just went by her full name. I think any nn is possible if the name-bearer introduces herself as such, but it’s not an automatic leap bc the ‘eh’ of [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] does not sound like the ‘ee’ of [name_f]Evie[/name_f].
I know a 10 year old [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] that only goes by her full name. Her friends don’t shorten it either.
It sounds like it’s not an automatic short form. Thanks!
I know two Evelyns, and they both go by just [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].
I had a rabbit named [name_f]Evelynn[/name_f], and I called her [name_u]Ever[/name_u].
I know two [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]'s and neither goes by [name_f]Evie[/name_f].
I think I’m with everyone else. I have known (or known of) 4 Evelyns, and I think only one went by [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. Two are college-aged, one is in her 60s, I think, and the other has just turned 1. The youngest [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] has a big sister named [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] “[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]”, and when they posted the birth announcement on fb, I think it said something along the lines of “Proud to introduce our newest member, [name_f]Eve[/name_f].lyn V!olet! [name_f]Welcome[/name_f] to the world, [name_f]Evie[/name_f]!” But ever since, I have never ever heard them reference her as [name_f]Evie[/name_f], just [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]. And they call [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] almost exclusively. Maybe [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] just suits her better.
My sister went to high school with an [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and an Evel!ng (apparently it’s supposed to be said like [name_f]EVE[/name_f]-ling, but everyone said it like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], anyway. That seems to happen to a lot of the kids I know with unusual names.), and I think the Evel!ng went by [name_f]Evie[/name_f], but [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] was my sister’s best friend, and she never called her [name_f]Evie[/name_f], just [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].
Ironically, I knew of an Ivelisse (said like Eveliese, not like an [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]- beginning), and she went by [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], pronounced like [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. I think that’s the only [name_f]Evie[/name_f]/[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] I’ve ever known, though.
I know two Evelyns. One is 19 and the other is 14. One goes by Ev or [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and the other goes exclusively by [name_f]Evie[/name_f].
My name is [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] (eh-veh-lee-na) and my friends used to call me [name_f]Evie[/name_f] when I was younger. It was pronounced eh-vee, not ee-vee. Since high school, I have told everyone to call me by my full name and on the rare occasion people shorten it to Ev.
I know two Evelyns, and I’ve only heard them shortened to Ev or [name_u]Ever[/name_u] (I think [name_u]Ever[/name_u] is lovely).
