[Opinions] WDYT of "Evie."
I noticed a new name on the top 50 baby name list for England and Wales. It was ranked 29th for 2005. The name was "Evie," for a girl. I think it's really cute. Has anyone heard this name in the US? Is it just "Evie?" OR could it be a nn for Evan/Evanne/Evelyn? Does anyone know? Just curious...

Surprised no one has mentioned V for Vendetta yet
Evie is the heroine of that movie.
I like it as a nn fine, but not as a proper name. It is very cute, though.

Duh, you're right, I forgot. I think it was Evey, though, wasn't it? (I prefer Evie, and as a nn, too)

You're probably right, I never read it or saw it written

I like it as a nickname but not as a full name, nicknamey names are very popular here in England at the moment,The chart contains loads of this type of name
It's entirely too nickname-y to me, but it seems to be more of a trend in the U.K. (and maybe Australia), but it probably just hasn't hit the U.S. yet. :-/ I like Eve, and Eva, Evangeline and Evelyn are lovely as well, with Evie as a nn even, but not on its own. But I feel the same way about Charlie, Ellie and Millie--they are nicknames, NOT formal names--which are also quite high up on popularity lists in the U.K.

I think Evie is an adorable nick for a name such as Eve, Eva, Evelyn, Genevieve, Evangelina, or Evangeline. Alone it seems a bit childish and limiting, imo.
It reminds me of the character of the same name in the movie Thirteen (who is certainly not someone anybody would want as a role-model for her daughter)
I've seen it as a name on its own as well as as a nickname for Evelyn.
