[name]Do[/name] you guys pronounce the name [name]Evie[/name] like Ee-vie with a long E or like Ev-ie as in [name]Evelyn[/name]?
I always heard it as ee-vee, like the pokemon Eevee…
I’d pronounce it Ee-vee, with a long “e”.
I’d say EE-vee
I say EEE-vee with long e, but I have heard of EH-vee (short e) as a nn for [name]Evelyn[/name]. I personally prefer the long e pronunciation.
It depends on what it’s short for… if it’s a nickname for [name]Evelyn[/name], I’d pronounce it “eh-vie.” If her full name was “[name]Eve[/name]” and it was her nickname, I’d think “ee-vie.” But if I didn’t know what it was short for, I’d probably go with the first or ask for clarification. Sorry, that probably wasn’t very helpful…
I say EE-vee like the pokemon. I personally think it sounds better than eh-vie. I do agree with pp that it depends on what it is short for, however, if it is used as a full name, I would automatically say EE-vee.
Eevee but I have heard ehvee before.
Eevee. [name]Evvie[/name] for Eh vie and [name]Evelyn[/name]. Doubling v after a short vowel but before a long ee is somewhat standard standard, like in the word savvy. We just see it less than with a lot of other letters, like B in [name]Abigail[/name] --> [name]Abby[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] --> [name]Addie[/name], [name]Edward[/name] --> [name]Eddie[/name], because V is a rare letter.
If a child named [name]Beverly[/name] wanted to go by Beh vee, I would also recommend spelling it [name]Bevvy[/name], although bevy is an English word pronounced that way, so obviously, English is famous for its exceptions : D.
I say it like E-V
[name]Long[/name] e sound. But I have heard both.
I say it like the initials E.V. I also love EV-ee, but I would spell that [name]Evey[/name], not [name]Evie[/name]. I’m not sure why, but [name]Evey[/name] to me is EV-ee, while [name]Evie[/name] is EE-vee.
I have a daughter [name]Evie[/name]. We pronounce it E.V. (long E). I am always surprised how many people mispronounce it, especially older people, like my grandparents.
eevee with the long e’s
@ ty13 Well its interesting that mostly older people mispronounce it bc I asked this question after I found out there was an [name]Evie[/name] in my family tree, and everyone in her generation pronounced it Ev-ie. At first glance I would think long E as well, but now I kinda prefer the sound of ev-ie instead of ee-vie… either way it is adorable. I figured with the name [name]Evelyn[/name] rising the way it is though you would see more little Ev-ies running around.
I’ve heard it pronounced as both ee-vee and ehv-ee. [name]Just[/name] depends on your preference.
