Help[Opinions] Re: Evan
in reply to a message by Gaia
I like it OK. Not a fave, but it's way better than Ethan, and better than Ivan.
It's understated. Doesn't grab attention. But sounds smart and friendly. A little slick.
Evan Albert, Evan Elijah, Evan Gabriel, Evan Martin?
On a girl - well, glamorous-imaged Evan Rachel Wood gives it a nice look, doesn't she? But, I have met many young women on whom I think it would seem unfortunate, just because of it being kind of a generic boys-name. It's like Ryan or Kevin as a gal name: It can work, but you can't really count on it not just seeming lame and awkward. I prefer Evanna (pronounced like Eve-Anna or like eh-VAH-na, but eh-VAN-a is ehh okay too, still better than Evan). An Evanna could certainly go by Evan, if that worked for her.
