I know Evesham is a place name in England, but I've started thinking of it as a boy's name and now I find it to be pretty cool. I'm not sure if it's a favorite of mine just yet but I'm warming up to it. I prn it like EVE-shum but I think EV-eh-shum is also a legit prn. So WDYTO Evesham and which prn do you prefer?

Evesham is also the name of the township where I grew up (pron. EVE-sham). I couldn't do it b/c I would always have that association. It's ok I guess, it just doesn't do much for me personally.

it's not bad, but all I see is EVE (a girl name) and SHAM (not a good word to be in a name).

I like Ephraim, which is EFF-rum, kind of similar.

Funny you should mention Ephraim

Ephraim used to be one of my favorite names. Perhaps I should go back and look at it again.

The Eve part bothers me a bit too and that might be why I hesitate to call it one of my favorites.

I like it. There is a name that sounds similiar but I can't think of it at the moment. I don't like the pronunciation you like, I like the Ev-ehr-shum pronunciation.
