Too similar baby name?

familyband

Hi! My husband and I love the name Evelyn..Evie for short..for our future baby girl but we're concerned it's too similar to his name, Evan. We were hoping to get some outside thoughts if we were overthinking this.

Thanks!

Pretty name, but I think they sound too matchy together. Then again, that's just my personal opinion and you should choose what you love!

I think it's fine. Evelyn sounds like you are naming her after him by giving a feminine version of his name, Evan. I like it.

My mother suggested doing that when naming me. My father's name is Felice and she suggested Felicia, but he wouldn't go for it.

Anyway, Evelyn is a lovely choice and Evie is a cute nickname. If you both love it than use it.

I agree with this. I normally don't like matchy kid-parent names, but this is cute. And I love the name Evelyn!

I think its a cute name and as someone else said it would be like you were naming her a feminine version of her dads name. My opinion is go for it!

Remember she will spend the majority of her life not being held in association with her father.  So I think the best advice for naming kids is giving them a great name for being an adult.  If this is a name you absolutely adore then go for it!
