Re: Evan (girl)
in reply to a message by Lily
Here, let me comment in the main thread instead of just that subthread.
I don't really like it. I can sort of see how it has that Ryan/Tyler/Dylan sort of feel-- stuff that is mostly masculine but people use it on their daughters anyway. I'd really rather see any other Ev- name.
(The first Ryan I ever met was a girl, actually, but I still don't want to use it. Somehow I was always aware it was not a girl's name).
I don't know anything about Evan Rachel Wood except she was supposed to star in the tv version of my favorite book series when I was 13, except it never happened.
Have you ever looked at Evren? Lends itself to Evvy (or however), unisex, awesome meaning. win win win.
(in other news, I'm totally adding Aubrey (m) to my list).

Aubrey is one of my favorite names for boys. :)
