[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
What are your thoughts on / vibes from Yvie (Evie) as a nickname for a Yv- starting name?
I think it feels really pretty and elegant, as well as a more mature feeling variant of [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. I love how it maintains the connection to the Yv name in question.
I would love to know what vibes it gives off too - I haven’t established those properly yet!

Thank you so much! :two_hearts:

Yvie has a mythical, fantasy-like quality to me, it reminds me of fairies and enchanted forests, pale pink and silvery mist swirling around trees with thin beams of sunshine streaming in. I agree that it’s pretty and elegant.

I did personally assume it was pronounced like [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] until I saw you mention [name_f]Evie[/name_f], though.

I love Yve and Yvie! They’re so magical and Arthurian, a name that would feel at home in LotR or any other fantastical tale. I love it as a stand alone, but also as a nickname for [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f] specifically, but is also a more intuitive spelling for [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f], [name_f]Yvette[/name_f], [name_f]Yveline[/name_f] and even could be cool for Yvangeline, Yvolet, or Yvalina.

I think if I knew it was from something like [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f], I’d feel it was a cute, sparky twist on [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and an interesting looking name. It gives me slightly sassy vibes.

Seeing it out of context, I admit I think of the expression ‘Yikes!’ ‘Yeet’ ‘Yip’ ‘Yipee’ or I want to say it ‘Yie-vee’ (like [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] with a Y)

I like it in context, but I admit that I was very confused on how it would bee pronounced from the title of the post.

I know a young adult [name_f]Yvette[/name_f] who goes by Yvie. So I knew what name you meant and how to pronounce it. :slight_smile: I have always liked her name (I’ve known her since she was born) because it’s so uncommon and unexpected for someone her age.

I think now, though, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is a lot more common for younger kids and I would expect Yvie to get mistaken for [name_f]Evie[/name_f] constantly.

[name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is Yve, and I have had some mispronunciations throughout my life. However, a lot of people instinctively know that it’s pronounced like [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I like it because it actually has a different meaning than [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and I like the way it looks better.:woman_shrugging:t2:

I love Yvie! I get the same impression that you do—an elegant version of [name_f]Evie[/name_f].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! And I think the pronunciation is pretty intuitive, as most Yv- names are pronounced similarly. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the suggestions of [name_f]Yvette[/name_f] or [name_f]Yveline[/name_f] - stunning!

Yvie is lovely and completely intuitive for a Yv name. It might require some correction as others have pointed out - ie some might think it’s [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] or Yee-vee etc - but that wouldn’t stop me from using it. It seems like a more mature version of [name_f]Evie[/name_f] to me! Get elegant, confident and magical vibes.
