Bevan

Like a previous poster said, this name is popular (perhaps a bit dated) and downmarket in both Australia and New Zealand. I've heard Aussies use Bevan in reference to a young yobbo/boy racer type.

I don't mind it myself but would never dream of using it on a child given the general vibe it has in Australasia.

I don't really like this name but do have to say it is better as a boys name.

*Bevan* is a surname and should stay that way. If it must be used as a given name, let it be for males only. No female should have to tote around a name that means "son of". Names are not merely sounds; they have meanings.

I don't care for this on a boy but love it for a girl.
