[Facts] Evren on non-Turkish babies
Evren is one of the names that I've seen quite often on the opinion board. I've noticed that a number of non-Turkish parents on naming boards seem to have considered it.Is there a specific reason for Evren being used by people not of Turkish descent? Did a celebrity use it or something?

emrald888 summarises some reasons for the appeal of the name "Evren" in their comment here: http://www.behindthename.com/name/evren/comments – it is supported by similar sounding English names, e.g., Evan and Everett.BUT: Kenan Evren plotted a coup d'etat against the democratic Turkish government led by Süleyman Demirel. This is a strong counterargument against the name, I think.--elbowin
