Help[Opinions] Re: Evelyn for a boy
in reply to a message by Treefrog
1. I do not want to badmouth your choice, it is just what came to my mind reading your message:
Honestly, I do not consider Evelyn as androgynous. I know, it is a unisex name. And I somehow like the idea, that it could make a comback as a name for boys. I really like Evelyn. But it was not used as a boys name for decades (maybe centuries) and most of the people will not understand, that it is in fact a name for boys too. Like the name Shirley; it sounds strictly feminine to most of us, because we are used to it as a feminine name. Maybe your son will have a hard life with the FN Evelyn. (Like I said, I like Evelyn and I like the idea, but this is my concern about it.)
2. MNs:
Evelyn James
Evelyn Dale
Evelyn Julius
Evelyn Luke
Evelyn Andrew
Evelyn Cole
Evelyn Lewis
Evelyn Paul
Evelyn Conrad
Evelyn Graham
Evelyn Elias
Evelyn Kyle
Evelyn Jared
3. Because it is quite an interesting choice: what are the names of your older sons? :)
4. Different unisex names I like: Darcy, Alexis, Morgan, Aviv, Riley, Evren, Phoenix.
sapere aude!
