HelpWDYTO - Evolet?
I went to see 10,000 BC today and the main female character was named Evolet (EHV-o-let). It's obvious that it was intended to be a form of Eve since the meaning was something along the lines of giver of life or something (can't remember exactly).
Anyway, I'm not a fan of 'made up' names, but it just sounded very, very pretty to me.
Just wondering what some other opinions were. :)

It reminds me a bit of those modern Hebrew names ending in (e)t such as Ayelet, Rakefet, Einat etc. However, as Array pointed out, it's also very trendy-sounding, and has a tacky Hollywoodian/made-up aura to it.

That was rude
Certainly your entitled to your opinions, and she's asking for them, but I don't think asinine is an appropriate, or worthwhile, reply.

insipid?

If you explain why, calling it as much isn't nearly such a jerk thing to do, you know. I think the name's seriously flighty, myself.

So is it pronounced like Evilette or "Evil, eh?"

Here's an idea
Read her post to see how it's pronounced. If you loathe this name because it reminds you if "Evil, eh?" that's all you had to say.

Oh, so it's like Evelyn with a nasal blockage. Thnx.

Way out of line, Avgvst. Knock it off.

Oh please. Lighten up. @@
If you don't like what I say, close your eyes and don't read it. :-D
Have a great gay!

Oh please. Grow up.
If you can't act maturely, just go away.
I really don't care whether you have a great day or not, to be truly honest. In the words of a legend at my school: "Have a great day, or not. The choice is yours."

No, I don't think I will go away, but you're certainly welcome to run along.
:-D

sigh...
Well, I have shared plenty of names, plenty of combos, plenty of advice, but it's like throwing pearls before swine here. Instead, I'll just focus on redirecting peoples' bad taste--In a very direct way, since *obviously* subtlety is unditected here. Not that this isn't anything but a way to alleviate boredom for me, but it is entertaining to see how passionate some of you really are. Train wrecks.

Wow.
Look how mature you sound, how you're behaving! Look how you're treating other people with dignity and respect, how you'd like to be treated! I *sincerely* hope that you act this way in "real life", and that the people you do these juvenile things to don't let you get away with bullshit like this. I can't imagine how you think behaving in this manner is acceptable. I wasn't involved in this thread, and usually I just let things like this go, but this bashing of the online community I am a part of really burns my butt. It's like you're in contest with yourself to see how offensive you can possibly be. Do yourself a favor and grow up.

Lurk more, then.

You are being ridiculous.
This is not the way people behave on this board. Opinions are backed up with reasonable evidence. You don't call other people's names "tacky" without explanation. That is rude and unhelpful. We are not rude on this board.

I mean day. Have a great gay too if you'd like though. =)

You're being really rude.
You don't have to like the name, but most people on this site try to be nice to each other and respect each other's opinions. If you can't handle that, there's probably going to be a problem.

Last time I checked, opinions are allowed :-D

We do welcome opinions--that's why people ask. We're just trying to point out that a one word, snarky comment isn't going to help the OP out.

double post.

I was just going to ask this!
I saw 10,000 BC today too. I wasn't very impressed by the movie but I really like the name Evolet. It'll probably go on my GP list.

Complete ditto
Like everything you said (exept for one thing). I was about to ask this. I saw 10,000 BC yesterday. I was very impressed by the movie (unlike you. It exeded my expectations and it's going on my favorite movie list). Evolet is very pretty.
At first I thought they were sayng "Evelyn", then "Everett", then "Evelyn" again. Then I realized it was "Evolet".

Not to say it wasn't entertaining
It was an interesting story and had some AWESOME special affects but the whole 'historical inaccuracy' thing was what really got me (When the top fell off of the pyramid I was half expecting it to take out the sphinx's nose :-))

It sounds to me like a perfect, polyamorous marriage between Evelyn, Violet, and invented names in general--like someone working on that film knew something about names and wanted to try and start a new trend.
I sincerely doubt that 10,000 BC is going to end up a classic in the canon of Great Films, but even if no one remembers it in twenty years, a young Evolet's name is still going to sound very dated to this decade. It has the "now" sounds repackaged.

It does sound pretty. I don't think I've ever heard it before, but it does have a familiar sound to it.
