Hello everyone! I'm a member of the october 2005 board and heard that you ladies were an excellent sounding board for names.
I'm expecting a girl and we are thinking of the name Evelyn Mae. (Our last name starts with a P.)
Can you think of any reason why we shouldn't use this name? Do you like it/dislike it? Any different ideas for a middle name?
I really appreciate any and all imput (better to hear it now than after I sign the birth certificate lol).
TIA,
Sarah

We actually considered Evelyn Nicole pretty seriously. I guess my big thing is we always try to give our kids a name with a lot of options and I'm not really sure we accomplish that with Evelyn Mae.
Our oldest is Tyler Alexander A "cool" name and a strong serious name. He can also be
Ty
Lex
Alex
Zander
Our second is Kyle Matthew, same thing, a "cool" name and a serious one. He can also be
Ky
Matt
Matty
see what I mean or am I being way too over analytical about this???

Thanks! That helps alot. I always wanted boys first (my highschool note books were filled with all the names I had come up for for my sons) but at the same time I have been waiting my whole life for my little girl. I didn't even really realize how much I wanted a daughter until my dear, dear, DH convinced me to get pregnant again (he knew!). I just want her name to be perfect. I'm going to have to keep your list because you came up with alot more ideas than I had ever thought up! Thank you again.

Evelyn is a lovely name. It's really making a comeback, I think. It's classic and pretty, just as your own name is.


Good luck and congratulations on your daughter :o)
