...but aren't. We are thinking this name may be too old fashioned sounding if our LO is a girl and looking for alternatives. Any ideas? TIA Big Smile

    Evelina, Eva, Eve. That's all I got off the top of my head. I think Evelyn is making a come back though, so if you want to use it I think you'll find it's more modern than you think. I know two little Evelyn's and an Evelina myself. Good luck!

    :)  I am guessing we are the Evelina

    We also wanted an alternative to Evelyn because it seems to be getting super popular.  And I love the nickname Ev/Evie.  When I found Evelina, I love it, and I think it is prettier than Evelyn.

    Evangeline, Evita, or really any name with Ev in it could have the nn Evie.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    Honestly, my niece (age 3) is named Evelyn and it never occured to me that it was an old-fashioned name. To me, the "lyn" ending makes it fit right in with Caitlin. I find names like Evangeline more old-fashioned sounding. (And "Eve", while a lovely name, is the oldest female name of the Bible :)). So go for Evelyn if you like it!

    Evelyn is great! I don't think it's too old fashioned, but does have a sense of nostalgia and sophistication. I know a little girl with this name (shes maybe 2 or 3) as well as a young adult (20ish) and it fits both of them well.
