HelpRe: Why is Evelyn so much more popular than Evelina?
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
Evelyn is an odd duck to me as well. It really does feel oddly out of place with all the fluffy Victorian confections. I guess it is the -lyn ending that people are so mad for... Plus the Eve- beginning is similar to Ava and Avery. Maybe?
Evelina is also probably unknown to most people. Evelyn is kind of a nice middle ground between old fashioned and modern. It's familiar and warmly vintage. Maybe the kids who grew up watching The Mummy are naming their daughters after the plucky heroine! Or, their grandmothers. Not nearly as many Evelinas out there to honour, I'd guess!
