Re: Evan (girl)
in reply to a message by Lily
I personally think Evan Rachel Wood is a reason why I would NOT use Evan on a girl. She just rubs me the wrong way.
I really like most names that are historically male (like Ashley, Lindsay, etc) to stay on males. And though there hasn't been much of a crossing over with Evan, it still is entirely male to me.
I love, love, love Evelyn though and would much rather see that on a little girl. (Though I'm biased; that's my grandma's name.)
All this being said, it's not the worst idea in the world. The nickname Evvy is cute.

I don't care for her either, it's just that she's a girl named Evan and it works on her so I think she makes it more usable for girls.
