    I love Evelyn!  And the nickname Evie is so cute if you decided to use one at all.  I don't really like Finnegan but I do like the nn Finn.  Good luck!!

    Like FInnegan Jacob. Not such a fan Evelyn Ruby. It's an ok name, but a little too old-fashioned for my taste.

    Evelyn is a great choice! Finnegan reminds me of either the book or the Detective's name on Law & Order: SVU  but I guess Finn is not the worst nickname to have.

    LOVE Evelyn Ruby... great choice!  Finnegan is ok, but it's always sounded a bit snooty to me.  I do like the nn Finn though.

    I'm not a big fan of Finnegan, but I really like Evelyn Ruby. I especially like the potential nn Evie.

    I was a nanny during early barney days. Finnegan just makes me think of the song I heard play in the background.

     There was an old man named Michael Finnegan

    He had whiskers on his chinnegan
    They fell out and then grew in again
    Poor old Michael Finnegan
    Begin again.

    There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
    He went fishing with a pinnegan
    Caught a fish and dropped it in again
    Poor old Michael Finnegan
    Begin again.

    He grew fat and then grew thin again
    Then he died and had to begin again
    Poor old Michael Finnegan

    Love Evelyn.  Ruby is fine for a MN.  Love NN Evie. 

    Would like Jacob Finnegan better... just b/c Finnegan is NMS.  Also it sounds better with our last name, so it just sounds better to me ;)

    Evelyn is okay. Sounds a little old to me though. Finnegan is horrible.

    I love Evelyn Ruby, but I'm not a huge fan of Finnegan.  Jacob is a great middle name, though.
