NN help, please!

If LO is a girl, her name will be Evelyn. I'm just wondering what people think of the nickname Evie.

MNs are Mary Elizabeth, so I had always played around with the nickname Emme. (initials would be E.M.E.M our last name starts with M), but Evelyn has such a distinctive nickname of it's own. Not quite sure how I feel about Evie. I like it, and I think it is really cute, but still not 100% on it.

Thoughts and opinions, please.

I love Evelyn with the NN Evie. That would be on the top of my list, but DH isn't a fan. Both are beautiful, but Evie wins for me

I love it! Just curious.... Would you all pronounce it E-v or EV-e?

LOVE the name Evelyn, HATE all nns that go with it. If you want to name her Evelyn, just call her Evelyn.

I love Evelyn/nn Evie. Not loving Emme nearly as much, but it's okay.

I agree!! I like the initials idea! A friend of mine always went by her initials her name was Sara but she was always 1 of 5 Saras at any given time so her initials were S.A.M. so Sam has been her name ever since! Our LN begins with a W so when we were looking at Ruby for our DD's name, we wanted to NN her "Roo" instead of "Rube" <--eww! so we thought of giving her the MN Elisabeth so her initials could be REW just another reason for her to be called Roo instead! I like Emmy! Wayy better than Evie! I know I am the minority but I really dislike the NN Evie!

I know an Eva, and she goes by Evie (EE-vee). I like Evelyn by itself.

Not sure. That was something else I thought of. I think probably E-v

Our Evelyn goes by Evy

Edit to Clarify: We pronounce it "Ev-ee". Not "Ee-vee". IMO "Ee-vee" doesn't make since unless you pronounce Evelyn "Ee-vel-in" instead of "Ev-el-in".
