Would love opinions - H and I are discussing names for baby girl and there are two we like, Evelyn and Laurel. Evelyn is a family name but I don’t like how popular it has become or the NN H would use. Last name is very common and starts with M.
Evelyn Ruth Ann (double middle name) Evelyn Mary (both family names) Laurel Ruth Laurel Frances Laurel Evelyn Laurel Caroline
Love Laurel Ruth. Evelyn is getting pretty popular. Lots of little Evelyn/Evie at least where we live. If you want to use Evelyn I'd use it as the MN. Laurel Evelyn is very nice too. Don't worry about the NN. A lot of times they have nothing to do with the given name anyway.
Laurel Frances sounds so lovely and sophisticated. Agreed that Evelyn is very popular. I do have a friend named Elyn (pronounced Ellen) which could be a way to make it more unique.

Misspelling a name does not equal unique in a good sense.
I’m also assuming OP has picked a name by now since this post was from July.
