It is ok as long as it is pronounced EVE-lin. I know 2 people with this name and pronunciation. One is 71 and the other is roughly the same age. I don't know any young people with this name.

---

I like Laura Evelyn.

I like Evelyn a lot. It's not my favorite Eve related name, but I think it's quite refined and calm-sounding. Very nice.

---

I don't know any Evelyns.

---

I like Evelyn Jane the best of your combos.

Willow Evelyn is nice.

It's alright. I find it a bit boring and don't really see its appeal. Surprising how popular it has become.

---

I know and Evelin and an Evelyn. Evelyn is over 60 and Evelin is in her 20s.

---

For some reason I'd prefer EEV-lynn (Eve+Lynn) as the pronunciation but you couldn't get away with that I guess.

---

I like Willow Evelyn and Evelyn Adele. Rose and Jane are boring as middle names. I like Isobel but only said EE-so-bel.

I love Evelyn. Too bad it has gotten so popular here. I used to know an Evelyn and an Evelin back in junior high. They're now in their mid twenties. I don't know many little girls, so I can't think of any I personally know who are named Evelyn, but someone I worked with has a neighbor named Evelyn who is about 7.

---

Evelyn Rose - Rose is too popular for me as a middle name, but the combo flows nicely, and I really like both names.
Evelyn Jane - Cute.
Evelyn Adele - I like both names, but something sounds a little off unfortunately.
Evelyn Isobel - Pretty. The names kind of run together, but I like both names.

---

Willow Evelyn - Lovely. I also like Evelyn Willow.
Isobel Evelyn - Nice, but a bit of a mouthful. Evelyn sounds better paired with one or two syllable names.
Laura Evelyn - Lovely. I wouldn't mind seeing Laura on little girls more often.

I love Evelyn. I think it is gorgeous. The only Evelyn I've ever met was my friend's great-grandma and she would be almost 100 now. Those combos are all nice but I adore Evelyn Rose, Evelyn Isobel and Isobel Evelyn.

The youngest Evelyn I know must be in her mid-sixties. Her middle name is Elsie!

---

I don't like it, and I don't like Eva or Eve either, though I rather wish that I did. I knew a Lyneve once, and I really liked that a lot.

---

I like Evelyn Jane, and I like Isobel Evelyn and Laura Evelyn much better.

It's hard for me to judge it objectively, but I think it's a pretty name. It's calm and sweet, and not too showy. It's also pretty trendy.

---

I know 2 Evelyns age 2-3 and my grandmother, who was born in the 30s.

---

Evelyn Rose - such a boring, filler mn, and when paired with an already trendy fn it's a very generic combo
Evelyn Jane - cute, and nice and simple
Evelyn Adele - probably my favorite of yours. It has more depth and a bit of strength and elegance to it.
Evelyn Isobel - nice and bubbly, I like it
Willow Evelyn - I dislike Willow but I think Evelyn makes a good combo with it
Isobel Evelyn - I like this better than its reverse, although the flow of it is a bit flat
Laura Evelyn - oh, maybe this is my favorite. It has a nice vintage feel to it and it's very sweet and friendly.

Well, I'd rather see Evelyn on a girl than a boy and prefer it to Eleanor. It doesn't excite me, but it's ok. Evelyn Adele flows beautifully and Evelyn Rose is ok. The others don't go together so well. Evelyn Laura might be ok, but the flow of Laura Evelyn is awkward. Same situation for Evelyn Willow flowing better than Willow Evelyn.

I like Evelyn and DP absolutely loves it and loves the nickname Evie, which is the exact thing that puts me off loving it. Evie is just so popular, both as a nickname and a stand alone name. But anyway...

---

I know 1 Evelyn (goes b Evie) she is 21 and a complete mess (drunks and alcohol) which puts me off also.

---

and I know 7 Evie's - all under the age of 5

---

Your combo's

---

Evelyn Rose - out of the 5 Evie's I know, 3 of them have the middle name Rose! Although I like Rose on it's own, it has the ability to make any combo bore me to tears when placed in the middle name spot.

---

Evelyn Jane - very pretty. Has a somewhat medieval feel to it which I like
Evelyn Adele - I dislike Adele
Evelyn Isobel - Okay but a little bland

---

Willow Evelyn - not my style
Isobel Evelyn - feels slightly less bland this way round. Evelyn spices Isobel up a little bit

---

Laura Evelyn - I like this. Bring back the Laura's :)

---

Evelyn Jane and Laura Evelyn are my favourites

---

I live it pronounced "EHV eh lin", not like "EEV eh lin" like it is here in the UK.

---

Evelyn Rose would be my favourite combo of yours.

Evelyn is OK but there are a lot of Ev- names which I like a lot better (Evangeline, Eveline, Eva or just Eve) because Evelyn is rather dated. Evelyn Rose is pretty.

Evelyn is gorgeous, I really like it. I don't think I've ever met anyone with the name actually. Evelyn Rose, Evelyn Adele, Evelyn Isobel and Laura Evelyn are all nice combos. Evelyn Adele would probably be my have though.
