thoughts on Evan

Is this name getting really popular?

I love the soft masculinity of Evan and am seriously considering it. It has remained steadily in the top 50 for a long time, but I am concerned it is getting more popular. Same goes for Owen, which I also like.

Do you think these names have top 10 potential in the next few years? I really want to avoid a name that will "date" my child to any specific time period by becoming overly popular. I really love classic, timeless names, but it is hard to find good ones and they are usually pretty common.

Thoughts?

I know a few little Evans, but I don't think it will turn in to Jayden, like ever. Its pretty classic.

My 4yo is named Evan, we are involved in several moms groups and preschool and know tons of kids.  I just met another Evan this week!  So although it is "popular" on the social secruity website, I dont think it is overdone.  IMO.

It's my favorite boys name and I don't know anyone with the name.

I also have a 4yo named Evan and similarly, we haven't run into many others. It's popular, but it's not trendy IMHO. I taught an Evan years ago when I was in college and he'd be in his 20s now. So it's definitely been around long enough to not fall into the trendy trap of Braden, etc., I believe.

I'm with the others. It is popular, but certainly not trendy and I don't think even super popular. He'll run into a few other Evans but not a bunch...

I really love the name.

Go for it!

I am biased because it is my brother's name, but I have always loved it. I know it's high on the charts, but I honestly don't run into too many Evans at all- its def not overdone.

I love Evan, it's common but it's never been out of control popular.

I love Evan! If baby #2 was a boy the name would have been Evan James or Evan Christopher. I say go for it.

My nephew is the only Evan I know, but he's going to be 21 in October.  I don't think there's going to be mass boom of people naming their boys Evan over the next few years, but you never know!
