How about Devon instead? I think it sounds much nicer than Evan, especially with Kyle, Logan, Mackenzie and Gunner.

Devon Christine sounds nice to me : )

My sister is named Eavan. I prefer that spelling as it is girlier(not a word, I'm sure). It's one of my favourites from your choices though. I think Ophelia's nice.

Really weird....

I knew a girl growing up named Stephanie Christine Evans! It's like a combo of all your names here!

"Why not Evie, Eva, Evangeline/Evagelia..." Those names, although beautiful in their own right are not my style at all.

While, I don't share your love of traditionally boy names on girls, I think Evan Ophelia sounds really nice. :) And is so much nicer than the other two choices.

Hope you're doing okay!

It's so-so, but I like it much better than Wesley. Evan Ophelia or Evan Christine gmv.

Yay! Evan Ophelia still gets my vote.

LOL - I will admit I got the idea from looking at Jenny McCarthy's book about her baby boy-Evan.

Well I can only see Evan on a boy myself but putting that aside

Evan Ophelia is something of a tongue twister for me it just doesnt sound right when i try to say it
Evan Christine - I think this combo sounds the best
Evan Stephanie - is okay but i prefer Evan Christine

- Ciarda85 (Ciarda)

6/22/2005, 2:18 PM

It's not bad, I think it could grow on me. I'm still not too keen on Ophelia though. I would go with Evan Christine of those.

BTW, did you get my e-mail?

I personally don't care for Evan on a girl, but Evan Ophelia flows beautifully, and the ultra-feminine mn does off-set the masculinity of the fn.

I think Evan should only be used on a boy

I really like Evan for a girl and Evan Ophelia gets my vote/

It's OK, and it definitely flows well, but it doesn't quite fit with your other daughters' names. Your other girls have sunrname names, and Evan isn't a surname.

It might seem like

I have a "theme" going, but I really don't. I'm not trying to stick with a "surname theme", just trying to find a name that I am wild about :o)

Evan is a surname too (although Evans is more common)

Kyle? That's a surname?

- Laurie (guest)

6/22/2005, 5:34 PM

In my h.s. class was a boy with the last name of Kyle.

- Miranda (Randee15)

6/22/2005, 3:31 PM

Yes, it is

BtN even says so. So does this: http://snipurl.com/frq5.

Though I admit that Kyle may be more familiar as a place name to some people.

I beg differ

True, I don't know anyone with the surname Evan, but I know lots of people with the surname Evans, which is very similar. Because of this I think Evan has a similar feel to Mo5.5's other children's names.

- Miranda (Randee15)

6/22/2005, 2:13 PM

Evan doesn't automatically remind me of Evans, truthfully. Evan, to me, is simply the Welsh masculine form of John. It's not remotely surnamey to me, and I don't believe it would be widely considered a surname name like Mackenzie, Ashley, or Kyle are.

I love it! I used to babysit a little girl named Evan who lived across the road, she was adorable :-)

I like Evan Ophelia best
