Evander is my favorite male name at the moment. What do you think of it? What are your favorite Evander combos? Does Evan work as a nickname?

Thanks. :)

love Evander, but there's annoying boxer in the UK by that name that ruins it.

Evan works, as does Van or Ander. But I'd just use the whole name.

Thanks. I kinda like the nickname Van. :) And are you talking about Evander Holyfield?

Evander Holyfield is the one who first brought the name to my attention, and he's part of the reason I love it. Now I despise boxing, and would never willingly watch one minute of it---but I don't find Holyfield annoying at all--as I said, he's part of the reason I love the name. That is one good-looking and sexy SOB.

Wait a minute--you said the UK and Evander Holyfield is American---are we talking about two different people, or was that a typo?

Alois Evander was my favorite combo for a while. I love Evander, and Evan does work for a middle name.

I really like it, and I think that Evan works as a nickname. I'm kind of surprised that Evander isn't more popular than it is considering how close it is to popular names like Evan and Alexander.

The reason why I like Evander so much is because it has a similar feel to Evan but is far less popular. I am surprised that it isn't popular already, but I have a feeling it will become more so in the future.

I really like

Evander Leon
Evander Henry
Evander Jonathan
Evander Grey
Evander Micah
Evander Jude
Evander Theodore

Thanks so much! :D

I really like Evander! Evan works as a nickname, but if it were my son I think I'd stick to using the full name most of the time.

Thank you. :) Yeah, I probably would as well, but then if he didn't like his full name he could always go by Evan if he wanted to.

I think Evander is quite handsome and distinctive! However, Evan cheapens it for me.

- Marie (Tawnee)

Thank you. It is very handsome. :) I don't think Evan cheapens it, at least to me, probably because I like the name Evan too.

It's also my favorite male name at the moment! I think it just overtook Cassius. It's strong, handsome, and sexy! I think Evan works just fine as a nickname, but I'd try to call him by the full name.

Thanks! It is such a strong and handsome name!

I love the name Evander! And yes I think Evan would work really well as a nn!
