Help[Opinions] Re: Anya and Evan
in reply to a message by Lea
I love Evan --handsome and classic. Evan Gabriel, Evan Luke, Evan Lucas, Evan Robert and Evan Paul come to mind.
I pronounce Anya as AHN-yah, and love it only as a nickname, for Anna or some other An- name. Anya as a nickname for, say, Anastasia is not technically correct, and would make any Russian cringe, but it's much better than Anya as a full name. Aine is an Irish name said the same way if you don't want it as a nickname.
Evan and Anya clash rather spectacularly as siblings in my opinion.

Anya is pretty and made me think of Aine too. I like Evan (my brother is Evan Michael) but I don't have much feeling for it because I can't hear it as a name; I can only think of my brother!
