The "ly" ending makes it sound like an adjective. It sounds like it should mean "everlasting" or "endless" etc. Not ugly, just a bit odd.

Too trendy. I know someone who didn’t name their daughter Olivia (their top choice) because they were worried there would be multiple Olivia’s in school. They chose Everly instead, and their daughter, Everly, is one of three Everly’s in her preschool class. There are no Olivia’s.

I actually really like this name. I think people only hate it because it’s popular but I do see why it’s so popular. Also don't kill me but I like the spelling Everleigh.
I used to dislike this name, but it kind of grew on me. I don’t love it, but it’s tolerable. Only this spelling though.

Gonna be very dated to the 2020’s. Super trendy and not in the good way. You hear of an Everly & you already know what age group she’s in.

Everly is in the top five on our name list. However, I keep going back and forth. Pros: it’s pretty and I like how it sounds. Con: it might be too “trendy” at the moment.

The surnames Everly and Beverly are interesting sounding. I like the singer Beverly Knight, she has a great voice.

This is the only spelling I like of this name. It’s the simplest spelling.
It's a cute frilly name, that's for sure, but I find it so odd how a name that basically came from nowhere simply got into the top 50 names for the USA, in just about 4 years or so? Where did it come from and why did it rise in popularity so quickly? My little cousin (4) is named Everly, and in her daycare/kindergarten there are about 5-6 other Everly's/Everleigh's spaced out in different age groups. Why is it so common now, when it pretty much didn't exist before 2016? Pretty sure an influence in the names popularity could be Everleigh Rose, but still it makes no sense.
It's overly trendy. A good example of how many people pay no attention to the meaning of names these days, but only the sound or the similarity to other trendy names. Not a good name for a little girl, especially as it means "boar('s) clearing/woods".
Also not a fan. Please don’t name a poor baby this!

Not a fan, but I'm not one to judge.

I actually kind of like this name, although it's definitely a fad. It almost sounds like a surname to me.As far as the pronunciation goes, "Everly" is definitely kinder to my ear when it's said in an accent that doesn't have R-colored vowels. I see how it could sound rather harsh to people because of that R right after the V.
Sounds a bit childish and the "ever" part stands out to me. I prefer Emily, even if it is common. I think this name is going to become a top baby name.
I've always liked Everly, ever since I became a name nerd. About time this was added to the site! Lol Anyway, I feel like Everly is a palatable option for people who like Beverly but find it too dated, or like Emily but think it's way too common; or they really like the Everly Brothers' music. However, due to its spiking popularity over the last decade, I fear this name will become super "trendy" (if it hasn't already), and then dated in the future. But keep it spelled Everly, regardless. None of this Everleigh / Everlea nonsense!

I don’t understand why everyone hates this name so much. It’s awesome for either gender (but more so for girls) and has historical relevance unlike the super trendy names like Skylynn or Nevaeh.

A good set of names for twins are Everly and Emily.

For some reason, I really don’t like this name, especially the spelling. If you want to name your child Everly you should spell it Everleigh. I’m personally not a fan of it though. I prefer Emily a lot more.

Everly / Everleigh is a beautiful name. I love the nickname Ever. This name is becoming very popular and will no doubt be the new Ashley in a few years time.

I love the name Everly. It is a good name for a cute girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. If you consider naming your daughter Everly, you can do that.
