Re: Evan (girl)
in reply to a message by Lily
I understand that--growing up with someone really shapes the name for you. My mom is Dani (although just a nn) so when I met my first male Danny I just stared at him and asked why he had a girl name. lol. I can actually see the appeal, honestly. I wouldn't use it--not even for stories--but I can see the appeal. Evvy is pretty bad. EH-vee makes it worse. EE-vee seems more intuitive. Evan Rachel Wood probably made it more accessible but it makes me like the name less. I can't say I'm a fan of hers so I'm a little biased I suppose.

hahaha I prefer Dani on a girl, too. I grew up with a Daniela who went by Dany. Hmm I think Evan nn EE-vee is kind of weird I think EH-vee is more intuitive as Evan is EH-ven. I'd probably spell it Evy, though. Not that I would spell it much, just the nn.
