Got a boy's name, but not a girl's

Hey everyone!  

So my husband and I have decided on a boy's name for sure (William Andrew), but are struggling with deciding between 2 girl's names: Evelyn and Sophie.  We love the meanings of both (life and wisdom, respectively), and her middle name will be Love.  I feel that Sophie sounds like a kid's name (and kids do grow up, even though we don't want to believe it :-) ) and he feels that Evelyn sounds too old (which I counter with nicknaming her Ellie while she's a child).  Thoughts?  We find out the gender in less than 3 weeks and we're so excited!

I much prefer Sophie and don't see it as a kid's name. Evelyn is okay, though I prefer the nn "Evi." Oh, also, I think Sophie Love flows better than Evelyn Love.

ACK!  William Andrew is perfect - in my opinion

DS is William and I wanted to use Andrew, but it's one of my two brothers' names and I didn't want to only name a child after one of them.

Love!

We would go with Sophia in a heartbeat if it wasn't so darn popular right now ;-)  It's still on the table, though.

I don't like Sophie on it's own, I love Sophia and the nn Sophie is cute.

Evelyn is nice, I prefer the nn Evie over Ellie, since Ellie/Ella/Elle are so popular.

If the name would be Sophia with the nn Sophie I would pick that. If the name is just Sophie, I would go with Evelyn.

I'm really over Sophie. I used to love it but now it's way too popular for me. Evelyn is considerd popular as well but it's a more refreshing to hear than Sophie. But honestly, they're both good choices. I love William Andrew! You have good taste.

I have never seen Evelyn as "old." It reminds me of other sweet "lyn" names like Caitlin. I'd say go with Evelyn but call her Evie or just Evelyn... it's such a great name, and there are soooooooo many little "Ellie's" running around that it may just get confusing to shorten the name to "Ellie".
