Name for baby #4

We are expecting baby #4. Actually I am past due. I had solid names picked for my last three within days of conceiving. [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Immanuel[/name_m], Ellora [name_f]Lina[/name_f] Raechelle, and [name_f]Willow[/name_f] Psalm [name_u]Zion[/name_u]. I had my girl names picked at age 11 actually.

This time is totally different! I have had the hardest time finding something with the perfet combination of sounds we like, strong and significant meanings, family connections and uniqueness (without being weird).

So give me your thoughts! The final two contenders for names are Evanie [name_f]Nessa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], or just [name_f]Nessa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

[name_u]Evan[/name_u] (the official name) is the Welsh version of [name_m]John[/name_m] (deceased father). It is also Hebrew for [name_m]Stone[/name_m] - and I love the strength it implies. We would call her Evanie all the time.

[name_f]Nessa[/name_f] is from the Hebrew Neis, meaning miracle or wonder. If we use this as a first name, the name [name_u]Evan[/name_u]/Evanie doesn’t seem to fit anywhere.

Ohh, I really like the names of your first 3! Not a fan of [name_f]Nessa[/name_f], but that’s just because of bad associations I have with the name [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]. Evanie is unique & meaningful. I dislike that that are so many [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]'s, Evies, and [name_f]Eva[/name_f]'s already running around…but then again I’ve never known an Evanie!

I like [name_f]Nessa[/name_f]!

What about Evanie [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]? The four names seems abit much, and the flow there is kinda choppy, imo. Also, [name_f]Nessa[/name_f] only makes me think of Wicked, the broadway musical. Not a bad association by any means, I love that show, but still something to think about.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce Evanie? I can think of a couple different ways, but not sure which you use.

It is pronounced Eh-van-ee ([name_u]Evan[/name_u]-ee).
