I think Evelyn is about the dowdiest name. It is so... ugly. Like, I imagine it said in a NY accent at a retirement home in Boca Raton. It does not seem satiny in the least to me. The difference between Ava and Evelyn to me is like the difference between Bertha and Bella. They just aren't really comparable in my mind because their styles are so different, or maybe my associations are so different. IDK. But I do see what you're saying.

For what it's worth, I have the same kind of association with Sophie. Sophie is old and dusty and talcum covered and owns a toy poodle and all of her furniture is skirted and she's perfumed and fussy.
