HelpRe: Kevin and Devon
in reply to a message by )(
I like Devon okay for a gal. Not enough to put it on a shortlist. But I've met one, and thought it sounded a lot better IRL than it seemed in theory.
I don't care for Devin (m), nor Devon (m).
Kevin is too dated as a baby name rn, yeah. I have a good friend named Kevin who's 57 (it rhymes). It was like the Aiden of the 60s, apparently.
I've never been a fan of the name but it's not unpleasant. Devin is a bit more grating, to me. Also Gavin. These names give me a vague sensation like they're aggressive action words, "devving, kevving, and gavving." Devon doesn't, though, it's place-y and feminine to me.

Soon enough we'll have senior citizen Aidans, hah. It's true that that was Kevin.
