HelpRe: Evelyn
in reply to a message by Perrine
I play that game with myself as well, and Evelyn is usually the winner for me too. I do genuinely find "Evie" cute....plus, I loved the character of Evelyn from The Mummy, so it has that going for it. 1930s intrepid lady adventurer is totally my style. Olivia would be my second choice I think - I've still never met one, and it's a pretty name. For boys, I'd go with Oliver, because I seriously adore Ollie on a boy; I'd probably do to the kid what was done to me, and exclusively call him by his nickname, never his full name. Elijah "Eli" would be my second choice, I loved that name twenty-five years ago and there's still a spark there.
Using my own country's top 10 (well, one province), I would stick with Evelyn but pick Theodore for a boy. I love Theodore! Leo would be my second choice there. Maybe I'd call him Leo Theodore. Hey, Leodore would be a cool name.
Éibhleann I don't like as much. I'm terrible, truly terrible, with Irish names. I don't understand the rules. I do prefer Aveline but would say it totally differently: "HAV-uh-leen", but no H. Is that wrong?
