[Opinions] Re: Evan (girl)
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Evan on a boy (I remember having a crush on a boy named Evan in elementary school :P)I like Evana on a girl. I'd like Evan as a tomboyish-type nickname for Evana or Evanna, but not as a full name. "Evan" sounds unisex, but it looks masculine, and spelling it Evyn or Evin or whatever would look too awkward IMO.I like the sound of Evvy (not the look though. Evi or Evy would look better, although they might looks like they're supposed to be pronounced EE-vee.)Evanne? That looks like a combination of Eve and Anne... like eev-ANN or something. I have seen a girl Ryanne though (pronounced like Ryan), so maybe. *shrug*

I don't like the look of Evvy either. You're right Evy looks better. I just don't want to put Evanna on her birth certificate because I'd never ever use it anyway. I would give her a feminine middle name, though.Evanne is kind of pretty but I'd want to say ee-VANN (kind of like Eve+Anne). Maybe for a character. I know a Ryanne too. She also pronounces it like Ryan but before I met her (she was in my class and I got the class list before meeting everyone) I thought it was ry-ANN.
