[Opinions] Beven
I was on the phone to my friend Kim earlier and we were talking about holidays, by accident when I was going to say Devon I ended up saying Beven lol anyway she's now convinced it's a great name personally I think it sounds like a boys name but with Bev as a nn it could easily get mistaken for Beverly. So WDYF? Do you see it as a female name or male?

When I first came across this name, it was on the neighbor of a friend of mine, a girl named Bevan / Bevin (not sure on spelling). We thought she said Devon at first. I kind of like it--and she was in her early 20s so it didn't seem as likely it was a made-up, tryndee name, which it turns out it is not. Just because of her (she was very sweet and her boyfriend was gorgeous, lol), I think of it as more of a feminine name than a masculine name, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on either sex. :)

I really dislike it, but I see it more as a masculine name. I'd spell it Bevan for a boy and Bevin for a girl. For a girl though, I much prefer Beibhinn (BAY-vin).

I'm going to go with... male, but it doesn't really scream either to me. IMO it's horrible, and definitely not a name.
I kind of see it more for a cat, actually. Either gender.
