We are Team Green with twins who are coming in 10 days. We need 4 names. The only name we agree on is Evelyn Grace. I think its pretty, feminine and classic while my DH likes only traditional, old fashioned names. I keep reading how its popular, but I've never met an Evelyn IRL.
Love it. I do think it's growing in popularity, but all old fashioned names seem to be. I don't see Evelyn being, say, the next Madison. It's a classic, pretty name.
I like Evelyn Claire.

I think Evelyn is lovely. It would be on our list but a cousin of mine used it a couple of years back. I like Jane, Rose and Grace for middle names with Evelyn.
Obviously, I love Evelyn (we have an Evelyn Sophia). It is getting more popular on the charts, but I've only run into one other Evelyn. (Charlotte is less popular in the SS name list, but we run into tons of little Charlottes for whatever reason).
I like Evelyn paired with a feminine middle name:
Evelyn Camille/Camilla
Evelyn Rosalie
Evelyn Susannah
Evelyn Fiona
Evelyn Michaela

My mother's best friend's daughter just named her daughter Evelyn. When my mother heard that, she was totally disgusted. She send my sister and me an email saying...
"EVELYN! What is she, some old man's girlfriend? And then people are going to call her Eve, like the douche. That's what Evelyn is: old slut for old men or douche."
We thought it was hilarious.

Re: Thoughts on Evelyn? And MN help?
I like it. As for a middle name:
Marie
Lou
Tea'
Grace
Not sure if I would limit myself to one syllable middle names though.
Autumn would be pretty and it is not one syllable. So would Ainsley, Paige, Sophie, Josphine and many more depending on your last name.
i like it. i especially like it w/a nn of Eve or Evie.
Evelyn Ann
Evelyn May
Evelyn Kate
Evelyn Rose
Evelyn Grace
Evelyn Rae
Evelyn Jane
I love it. It's on our list of names.
Evelyn Jane
Evelyn Claire
Evelyn Mae

Let me tell you a story about the name Evelyn.
