S/O: Masculine name-Evan

katie6/26/04 · December 2012

The post below made me think about a name we are considering: Evan. So what do you think? Is it masculine or unisex?

Masculine!

I don't consider it unisex or feminine.

In 2011, there were 8,584 boys named Evan and 99 girls, for a ratio of 86:1, so I'd say it's safely masculine.

I think Evan is masculine. I've never met or heard of a girl name Evan.

I would never think Evan was a girl name - have never heard of or met a girl named Evan

The only female Evan that I can think of is Evan Rachel Wood (shudder).

Evan is a masculine name.

Much like Elliot, it's a boy name that's not super-duper masculine. Unmistakably male, though. I would give the side-eye to a girl named Evan.

Male name for me. It is on my next boy list.

Mochadoodle · December 2012

Good thank you! That's how I feel but I just wanted to be sure

It is listed as unisex on Babynames.com so I wanted opinions.

Jo2013 · December 2012

Boy name all the way!

sapphire021 · December 2012

I knew a girl Evan growing up... and she just happened to be a huge tomboy and played hockey. But, Evan will always be a boys name to me.

gimmietimmies · December 2012

Totally male.

Amanda&EricB · December 2012

Masculine.

TUGOsQueen · December 2012

Masculine and derived from John... can't get any more manly than that.

But, I do work with a woman named Evan who was the 5th girl in her family and her parents really wanted a boy.

alohamora · December 2012

Masculine.

Raeily · January 2013

Definitely masculine! Do people use it for girls these days!?

Pas1224 · January 2013

Masculine

ChristyML · January 2013

Definitely masculine. The feminine version of the name is Evanna (pronounced ee-van-uh). I think the actress who played Luny Lovegood's name was Evanna...
