[Opinions] Re: Alvin Elwyn Evelyn
in reply to a message by Obetsy
I actually wouldn’t consider Evelyn similar to Elowen. Elowen is much softer and isn’t classic. Besides, one syllable change can make all the different in a name. Personally, I love Elowen and don’t particularly like Evelyn.
Elwyn looks too feminine to me. I like Elwin, though. Alvin is handsome but reminds me too much of the mischievous chipmunk.

It is so funny to me how names can get ruined in that way. I suppose I know of Alvin and the chipmunks but the name is too dear for that to be my first thought. Chip and Dale are a thing but I can't say I think of them when I hear the name Dale. There must be a threshold of a name that is just odd enough it is ruined. Like Adolf is a cool name but it gets ruined. I mean it was probably fairly common in Germany but maybe only in Germany. Joeseph Stalin doesn't seem to have ruined Joeseph maybe because it was just way more common.
Oh, I don’t mean the name is ruined! It’s just something to keep in mind. I’ve never heard the name Alvin used anywhere else, so that’s definitely part of it.

I do like one of your Alvin suggestions that would tie in another family member. I'm not sure how I feel about using it as I have already used that person's middle name for a kid. Maybe it would be time to use another family members name. Maybe if I have twins I could use it 🤔.
