It has finally happened. I never really liked this name but today I was looking at the US girls top ten trying to figure out which one I would choose if I had to and I thought
Evelyn was really pretty. Maybe it's because, for a change, it doesn't end in -a (
Mia,
Olivia,
Isabella,
Sophia,
Amelia etc.) but I also got a green forest image that I didn't have before.
Maybe it's also because I fell in love with the Irish Éibhleann (AYV-linn) but that is not so usable outside of
Ireland.
So what are your thoughts on
Evelyn? and on Éibhleann?
And while we're at it, how would you pronounce
Aveline and do you prefer it? I like the look of it but all the possible pronunciations keep me from loving it.
If you had to choose a name from the top 10, which one and why? I also have a poll on this (and some other countries' top 10 lists):
