[Opinions] Re: Evanna
in reply to a message by mirfak
1. I don't know. I see 3 possibilities.
2. 5/10
I've never heard it, and I can't tell just by looking at it how to pronounce it.
It mainly looks like Evan + na. Or it's like Ivanna, and in that case, I'd rather see that.
Or it's like e-Vanna, with the ee reminding me of electronic (as in: email, ecig) and Vanna seeming bland.
But it's not something I'd care about if I saw it used.
3. What names would you expect to see on siblings of Evanna?
Isabella, Nikita, Sierra, Maleah, Simone, Gabriel, Kieran, Dominic, Elijah, Oliver
I get a vibe of Savannah + Ivanna from it.
4. Would you like Vanna more, or less than Evanna?
I'd be indifferent to both.
5. Do you like the name Evan (m)? It's okay but seems generic or dated to my generation.
Fits in with Travis, Justin, Owen, Eric, Derek, Devin, Devon, Nathan, Josh.
Do you like Anna? Somewhat. 6/10
Do you like Eve? Yes. 7/10
6. Would you rather see/be Evanna (f), or Evan (f)?
Evan because people know how to pronounce it, and I don't mind Devin as feminine.
Or Evanna, if Eve could make sense as a NN...but I'd pick Evangeline over it, and I don't even like that much.
