[Opinions] Evelin
It's less popular in the Anglosphere than Evelyn. What are your thoughts on it and do you prefer the Evelyn spelling?

I like it better than Evelyn. Evelyn seems retro to me, but not in a chic way ... goes with Carolyn and Roslyn and Jerilyn and Marilyn and Sherilyn. And Kathryn.Evelin suggests the pronunciation Eve-Lynn, and I like that much more than the three-syllable pronunciation. But if it's still Ev-a-lynn, then Evelin looks more modern and spiffy to me than Evelyn does, by far. I even think other alt spellings improve Evelyn ... it's getting rid of that kitschy looking Y, that makes me happier with it.

I say it like EVE-Lin, literally. Yes I prefer Evelyn. I don’t even like that name very much.

I do prefer the Evelyn spelling. Maybe it's just me that just comfortable with Evelyn, but I think it just looks more nicer with a Y, in my opinion.

It looks like a mistake. I far prefer Evelyn, though I'd be more likely to use Eve - that would avoid dealing with the EEVlin or EVehlin issue.
