Re: Evelyn
in reply to a message by Siân
In theory, I find it a little eyerolly. Evelyn's one of those names that the pro-surnames on boys but not girls crowd leaps on and gets indignant about. But look at it, it comes from Aveline. How is it in any way masculine. It's cool if you're also cool with naming a boy Elizabeth or Violet, but if there are distinctions between genders, this is a girl name.

Am I the only person who would love to meet a boy Violet?
