Are you considering the name Evelyn?

Ginkeez · June 2011

I am getting an idea of how popular it's getting. How many of you are seriously considering the name Evelyn?

zaramarie81 · June 2011

I am actually not considering it because it's my niece's name (age 3). I have a coworker with a daughter named Evelyn too (age 2). And I know a 30-something Evelyn.

I'm not, but a good friend of mine just named her daughter Evelyn. She was born in March.

It's my great aunt's name, so if we have a girl it would be in the running for a first name or a middle name.

I'm not expecting, but my cousin is using it for her DD.

I'm not considering it, but I do think it's a beautiful name. I don't hear it often, either. I've met maybe one Evelyn in my entire life.

Perhaps as a middle name. It was my grandmother's name.

jlhook0 · June 2011

It was never up for consideration for us, simply because I don't care for the name.

AsOctoberFalls · June 2011

My cousin named her DD Evelyn. She was born in December.

I love it but DH says no, so we are not considering it. I'll keep it on my list to recommend each time we talk about names though. But it's never been on my short list. Also, this board is not a good representation of the rest of the country or your area. I would consult the SSA for that. The women here have much more sense about them then the ones that are making Nevaeh popular, as an example.

It was our girl name if DS#2 was a girl. If we have a girl, I will still consider it, but continue searching because I feel like it is becoming too popular (or at least a lot more popular than our boys names)

KBBH · June 2011

Not one of the names DH and I are considering but I LOVE the name. I say go for it! Yes

Mrkyrain · June 2011

It is on my short list but I think I am leaning away now.

emaddock · June 2011

We went to the hospital with this name and our DD's name. We chose the other name, but still love Evelyn. However, I think it is becoming more popular. Check the SS website for this year's ranking

MAMAxB · June 2011

My DD's name is Evelyn

I love it (obviously!)

I know it has been on the Top 100 list for the past two years but honestly.. I have not met one person who had a baby names Evelyn yet! (She is 13 months)

It may be common but not super common.. I love it

I know way too many older ladies with this name and it's very hard for me to imagine it on a cute little baby.

Quizzle · June 2011

We seriously considered it for a while, then found others we liked more. Still love it, though.

angnowamrs · June 2011

We are seriously considering it. It was my grandmothers name and we love it!

alandals · June 2011

We came very close to naming this baby Evelyn. DH loved it, I didn't. So we threw it out. It's absolutely beautiful, but my heart wasn't in it.

EmreighsMommy · June 2011

IMO, Evelyn is a very old fashioned name, so if you're into the classic/older names, go for it. However, my ex MIL, who is nearly 70, has the name of Evelyn. That leaves a bitter taste in my mouth considering my ex-husband told me after we were married that he wanted to marry someone just like his mom and I need to start trying to be just like her. Oh, and lets not forget the fact that she used to slap me across the face all the time. Needless to say, she made me despise that name. Come to find out, ex-H recently got remarried, had a daughter and named her EVELYN!

I LOVE Evelyn!
