Help[Opinions] Re: Why is Evelyn so much more popular than Evelina?
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
I think Charlotte and Evelyn fit well together vibe-wise, and Evelyn fits in well with Olivia and Emma, sound-wise.
I think the reason Evelyn is so popular rather than Evelina is 1. Lyn names are very popular now, 2. Ina names are not. 3. Evelina never got much use anyway. and 4. Evelyn is so similar in sound to other names of that period, like Emma, Ella, Eva, Eleanor, that it's just logical.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
