[Opinions] WDYTO Everard?
Everard just popped into my head the other day. Thoughts? Is it usable? Am I the only one who is surprised this name never charted?

Totally think it’s usable. It has a good sound and meaning and seems really solid and distinctive to me. It’s also kind of suprising to me that it never charted, especially with the past popularity of -ard names and the current vogue of Ev- names.

Double Post - please ignoreI like it; I think of the surname (ma'am - name) for Barbara Everard. Her profession entailed botanical art - for wall pictures - transposed to dinner ware (plates - etcetera). Born British, she lived & worked in Singapore & Kuala Lumpore, and struggled for equal payment for her work - as compared with males: a great deal of this occurred during WWII and thereafter; I would ascertain her life to be that of an unsung hero / heroine. I would ascertain use of this name in honor of her struggle.

I like it a lot. It sounds strong and kind of romantic to me.

i would like it a lot if it rolled off the tongue easier. but i think that's just me, so i'm still also surprised it's not more common with the Ev- prefix.

I read it pretty much like "Ever hard", which is unfortunate seeming, and it can mean "hardy pig", which is also somewhat unfortunate seeming. It makes me think of lard, partly because of Eberhard / Abelard, I guess.No, I'm not surprised it hasn't charted,

I don't like it. It won't be easy to pronounce.

Yeah the double R seems hard to pronounce, at least to me, but that hasn’t stopped other names like Aurora and Richard from becoming popular.
