Okay, so my husband and I don’t agree on names at all! He likes names from the 70s and 80s as well as [name]Evelyn[/name]. Everytime I heard that name I immediately thought of an old lady. However, given that my style is much different than his (I prefer names like [name]Violet[/name], [name]Addison[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Ava[/name], [name]Sophia[/name]) but at the same time dislike the popularity of many of them, I’m considering the name [name]Evelyn[/name]. It’s definitely growing on me. So my question is, what do you think of that name? [name]Do[/name] you know any young girls with that name? What do you picture? Also, what would be good sibling names that go with [name]Evelyn[/name]?

I love [name]Evelyn[/name]! (As an aside, I also love [name]Eve[/name], if that might be an option for you; it’s just so sweet and yet bold at the same time, a true classic name that is easy and familiar but also extremely underused and therefore very distinct).

As for [name]Evelyn[/name], I think it is a very sophisticated choice that still maintains a genuine warmth. I could see it paired best with [name]Audrey[/name].

I haven’t heard young girls with the name [name]Evelyn[/name]. It isn’t a bad name though. I like [name]Eve[/name] or [name]Evie[/name]. [name]Ever[/name] is even cute. Perhaps it can be a middle name.

[name]Juliana[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Georgina[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Jordana[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name]

Congrats!

[name]Hi[/name]!

[name]Evelyn[/name] is a nice, fairly classic choice for a girl. [name]Evelyn[/name], to me, is like an older version of [name]Eleanor[/name] - which is a vintage name in its own right. [name]Both[/name] have a very similar image for me of a straitlaced, determined, intelligent girl who is confident, self-assured, friendly, and poised. She isn’t particularly spunky or colorful, but she shines in her own special way. [name]Evie[/name] is a sweet nickname for [name]Evelyn[/name], too.

Considering you seem to be attracted to more “modern” - and I mean that to read “popular” - names, you might be inclined to try [name]Eve[/name] or [name]Eva[/name], as suggested above, in addition to [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Evangelina[/name], or [name]Evangelia[/name]. I love [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Evangelia[/name] in particular!

For [name]Evelyn[/name], I could see siblings being called [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Christopher[/name], [name]Douglas[/name], [name]Frederick[/name], [name]George[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Peter[/name], [name]Russell[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], or [name]William[/name] for boys and [name]Annora[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Diana[/name], [name]Frances[/name], [name]Grace[/name], [name]Harriet[/name], [name]Irene[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Katharine[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Paulina[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Teresa[/name], and [name]Winifred[/name].

For something like [name]Evangeline[/name], I could see siblings being [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Christian[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Peter[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], and [name]Vincent[/name]. For a girl, I could see [name]Annabel[/name], [name]Bryony[/name], [name]Christiana[/name], [name]Dahlia[/name], [name]Estella[/name], [name]Francesca[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Leona[/name], [name]Magdalena[/name], [name]Natalia[/name], [name]Ophelia[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Rosanna[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], and [name]Violet[/name].

Take care!

I really love [name]Evelyn[/name], as it is one of my favorite names. I adore the nickname [name]Evie[/name], and I think [name]Evelyn[/name] will be making a comeback in a couple of years. However, I worry when you say he likes names of the 70s and 80s. Does that mean [name]Kelly[/name] and [name]Stacy[/name], [name]Jennifer[/name] and [name]Stephanie[/name]?

Check the charts - it already is. If you’re worried about commonness, it’s not the best choice.

[name]Evelyn[/name] is a great name. It falls in the same category as [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Ava[/name] imo. [name]Evelyn[/name] is already in the top 100 and I could see it rising more. [name]Evelyn[/name] is sweet and classical. It makes a great name for a little girl, women, and old lady.
