Help[Opinions] Evening
I know I've asked about it before, but I feel the need to ask again. What do you think of Evening, as a first name, for a girl? I'd likely call her Evey.
See, the number of times I see Eve- and Eva- names pop up here and elsewhere is worrying enough that it makes me want to forget about my beloved Eva. But I can't quite do that--I love the nn Evey too much. And while I first saw Evening simply as a way of getting at Evey without falling into the top-100 trap (lol), it has really, really grown on me lately. The image I get when I hear the name is gorgeous--a summer evening on the front porch, with lemonade and ginger snaps and some good visiting getting done. ;) In any case, I'm really starting to like it a lot.
Am I falling into another trend (random word names, though it wouldn't really be random in this case) in my attempts to side-step another? Would Evening be viable on a person, or would it make you cringe? And do you have opinions on these combos? (I've left off the obvious Evening Rae because I'm a bit worried it sounds too much like a description--though that doesn't bother me personally.)
Evening Cornelia
Evening Roberta
Evening Hazel
Evening Rebecca
Evening Teresa
Evening Clarisse
Evening Lisette
Evening Janis
Evening Bernadette
Evening Veronica
Array (who also really adores Morning--twins? ;)
She had fallen against the windows, which were pressed against the windows, which were pressed against the old oak near across the age of the old Aunt Sophronia--was almost dreadful enough to walk on.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
