No, it doesn't sound even slightly like a girl's name, but it has been used for girls, unfortunately (actress
Evan Rachel Wood, and I know a little girl named Evyn, pronounced like
Evan, who is named after her grandmother,
Evelyn). I've heard of the surname Evans, but not just
Evan. It's ok, for a boy, but not my favorite name. It seems a bit trendy at the moment, but nowhere near as popular (yet) as
Ethan.
