Haha! I do just keep you guessing, I suppose. ;)
Oddly enough, you're correct to assume either. LOL Technically, the first E in Devanie being short to begin with, she gets called Dev, Devi, Eva (evva) AND Evie (evvy). Eva and Evie mostly by me (and often at bedtime ), and Dev(i) by friends and family as more a convenient shortening. However, when I actually type out Evie -- as in when I mention she's taken to referring to herself as such -- it's "eevy."
Not completely sure where it came from, though I have a sneaking suspicion it's from back before Kindergarten started when Kate was determined to learn to spell all our names (and I offered up the simpler Dev until she'd mastered that beginning portion LOL). I can picture them sitting there, Kate saying, "And this is YOU Devanie ... D-E-V!" Get it? EV? And thus is born a nn. ;)
If I had chosen the pronunciation, it'd be evvy (since that's the one I use when being affectionate anyhow), but hearing her refer to herself as eevy makes it equally sweet in my mind.

Hey Kelli, I've been meaning to mention that I met a little Ayla recently. She just switched from the nursury to the toddler room at our gym, so now she is in the same room as Hayes. She has an older brother named Thor.
WDYT?
