Re: Evelyn

I don't see why not. He could be named after his English great-grandfather and determinedly going by Ev; he could be a character in a story set in the 1920s, or he could be a boy from a non-English-speaking country whose parents got it out of an old book of English names. Or none of the above - EV-lin and EV-uh-lin have never sounded all that feminine to me, anyway.
