HelpRe: Evanna
in reply to a message by mirfak
1. How do you pronounce Evanna?
eeVANuh
2. What do you think of it?
Rate it
If you don't like it, what don't you like about it?
I've never encountered it IRL.
There are lots of worse names out there, but even more better ones. So, maybe 45%?
It sounds like an unsuccessful attempt at Yvonne. Even looks a bit like that! And I prefer other fem forms of John.
3. What names would you expect to see on siblings of Evanna?
No clue! Sorry.
4. Would you like Vanna more, or less than Evanna?
Vanna wouldn't work in South Africa, where so many lns start with Van - Van Zyl, Van der Merwe, Van Breda ...
5. Do you like the name Evan (m)?
I prefer other forms of John to Evan, especially the wondrous Ieuan and also Ianto if we're staying with Welsh.
I knew a really tedious Evan once, and it also sounds like a Cockney version of Heaven.
Do you like Anna?
Anna is OK - a good friend's daughter - but I have personal reasons for preferring Anne!
Do you like Eve?
Yes. My aunt Eva was sometimes known as Eve, and a school friend is Evelyn, always called Eve. In both cases I prefer Eve to their full names.
6. Would you rather see/be Evanna (f), or Evan (f)?
Evanna, definitely.
