Doe Evie work as a nickname?

[name]Hi[/name] everyone!

[name]One[/name] of my favourite nicknames at the moment is [name]Evie[/name]. I just think it is gorgeous but would never use it as a first name only a nickname. What do people think of [name]Evie[/name] as a nickname for [name]Vivienne[/name]? [name]Vivienne[/name] is in my top three girls names. What do you think? Does it work or is it a bit of a stretch?

Thanks :slight_smile:

I think it’s too much of a stretch personally, though I’m sure some will disagree with me. [name]Vivienne[/name] is one of my favourite names but I think the nn is pushing it. I love [name]Evie[/name] too, by itself or as a nickname for [name]Evangeline[/name] or [name]Evelyn[/name].

Thanks for your opinion. I personally love the name [name]Evangeline[/name] but can’t sell it to hubby :frowning:

That’s a shame, it’s such a beautiful name and I don’t hear it around a lot!

I know! Maybe he will come around one day. I absolutely [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] though and so does he so it’s alright :slight_smile:

If you introduce her as [name]Evie[/name], people are going to think her name is [name]Eve[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name] or [name]Evangeline[/name]. I think [name]Vivienne[/name] would be a bit of a stretch.

I agree with this. You could do [name]Vivi[/name] instead.

Personally, I think a nickname can be anything that feels natural to the parents. It’s tough to plan what feels natural, though. I know several couples who have planned to call their child by a certain nickname, but then it just didn’t feel right so they go by their full name. If you love [name]Vivienne[/name], go for it and you could try calling her [name]Evie[/name] and see how it feels. (I also know a couple who calls their son by a forced non-name-related nickname that they planned before he was born and it just does not feel right to anyone, but they use it anyway – awkward!) If it works, great; if not, you love [name]Vivienne[/name] anyway, so it all works out great either way!

I think it is a stretch to nn her [name]Evie[/name] when her full name is [name]Vivienne[/name]. [name]Vivienne[/name] is beautiful and maybe you can find a nn that comes naturally like my Papa calls me Shortcake cause he used to sing to me and feed me shortcake when my Mama wasn’t around. (:

I know a little girl named [name]Evie[/name]…to be honest I don’t like it. but [name]Vivienne[/name] BB [name]Evie[/name] is ok.

I think it works, no worries. I love both [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Evie[/name] and do not see a problem with [name]Evie[/name] as the nn.

I think its works.
I love the name [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Evie[/name] is such a cute name. :slight_smile:

I love the name [name]Vivienne[/name] and I love the nn [name]Evie[/name]; though I don’t think they go together.
