I like it! My husband and I were thinking about this name also. Only catch is that it's a little long and doesn't lend itself well to a shortened version. Although maybe that's what you want!
It's in our top three, but might end up being runner up. There's something I just don't love, maybe it seems so big and serious? And I worry it's going to become overly popular.
That being said, I think it's a really good choice, I just over think all names!
I couldn't disagree more. The name means "brave, strong boar". I find it to be very masculine. It is also a very nice traditional name. I look at popular names in the early 1900's when selecting names and this is one of my favorites from the list.
I really like it, though it doesn't lend itself to nicknames. I don't think it's as popular as some other E names - Edward, Evan, Ethan, Emmett, Elliott. But it's similar in style, so only you can decide if you want to go for it.
I like Everett. It was on my list, but DH wouldn't go for it. One of the guys I went to high school just had a boy and named him Everett, but I haven't heard it much other than that.
Re: Everett?
Me too!

That's how I feel about it, too.

I like it.
It's a city near Seattle.
love LOVE love Everett! Is this for a boy or girl?
I feel like I see it a lot on TB, btu I'm not sure how popular it is elsewhere.
It's DH's middle name (his mom's maiden name) and we would have called a boy this if we'd had one. We ended up using it as DD's middle name.
