I like it. ee-VAH-na or eh-VAH-na

It's ok, e varn a

Looks like a forced feminization of Evan. I dislike it.

It looks a bit too contrived for my liking. It looks like a feminine version of Evan, which I like. It’s ok, but doesn’t stand out.

I would pronounce it ee-VAN-a.

eeVAna. I don't like it: possibly too close to Ivana, but I think it just looks awkward.

It is very Evanna Lynch. I'd expect a hardcore Evanna Lynch fan. It is just a misspelling or creative variant of Ivana. Which is pronounced ee-VAH-na. It is okay but not great.

If you pronounce Evanna like eh-VAN-na or something then it sounds like a feminized version of Evan. Also not that great.

I usually say ee-VAN-uh, with the first two syllables sounding like the start of Evangeline.

Evanna is a very pretty name. It was one of my favorites for ages; and while it's true that the first time I heard the name was from Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter movies, I don't associate the name with HP in my head. It's a Celtic anomaly, sort of Welsh-meets-Irish.

Evanna doesn't sound BAD. It just sounds why to close to Evan, a name I'm not too much of a fan of.
