We named ours Ella, so I'm quite partial to it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106551 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:54:15 +0000 kodybear 1106551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: i actually don't know any other kids with the name evelyn and i live in a big city! i'm actually surprised that it's so high on the top names list. the only other evelyns i know are about my age or older. but one of the reasons we chose evelyn (our 2nd choice was emmalyn) was because people know the name (easy to spell and pronounce). i have a very common name and thats like the only thing i like about it. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106547 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:49:44 +0000 mrsjazz 1106547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: We live in a very family-friendly neighborhood and I've only met one Evelyn on the playground (she was about LOs age). I think there's an Evelyn or too here, but I don't think Evelyn is becoming popular yet. It's one of those old school names, for us it's a family name from a great grandmother. But Ella on the other hand is super duper popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106545 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:49:03 +0000 Ree723 1106545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evelyn is such a beautiful name - I love it! I really want to use it if this next baby is a girl, but our LO is Emily and I think Emily and Evelyn is a bit of a mouthful. </p> <p> I think Evelyn is getting more popular, but only to the extent that it's a name people are familiar with being used now. I sincerely doubt your DD will have multiple Evelyns in her classes at school. Now Ella on the other hand, I can think of five little girls I know under the age of three that are named that..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106544 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:48:59 +0000 travelingnanny 1106544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are trying to avoid a popular name, I would avoid Evelyn, too. It is becoming very popular. I know of at least 5 girls under two with that name :)</p> <p>ETA- There are multiple Evelyns in nanny LOs class. I have a very popular name and I hated going by my first name and last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106543 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:48:47 +0000 autumnlove 1106543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evelyn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106535 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:45:45 +0000 gotkimchi 1106535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: @purrpletulips: @kodybear: how popular have you noticed Evelyn being? I don't want her to have the same name as a bunch of girls in her class </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106533 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:45:09 +0000 Purpledaisy 1106533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no help, I love both! My only problem with Ella is how popular it's getting, but I still love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106531 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:44:20 +0000 gotkimchi 1106531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl: it's my grandmas name too!!! I think if you like it you should use it! It's neat to have cousins share something when it has such a sentimental meaning! My mom sister and I all have the same middle name spelled different ways and it never has bothered me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106529 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:43:10 +0000 mrsjazz 1106529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: Evelyn! I'm biased because it's my LOs middle name. We liked Ella, too, but decided against it because of how popular it has become. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106522 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:37:18 +0000 purrpletulips 1106522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is Evelyn so that is of course my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106468 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:13:47 +0000 kodybear 1106468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:heart: evelyn (it's my LOs name! :happy: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106466 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:12:16 +0000 kentuckygirl 1106466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love both but think Evelyn sounds better! I love Loraine, it was my grandmother's name and my sister has already used it for her daughter's MN or I would :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106447 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:58:58 +0000 californiadreams 1106447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like Evelyn better. plus the "L"s don't run together with Evelyn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106444 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:55:53 +0000 MamaMoose 1106444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the name Ella but I think Evelyn goes much better with Loraine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106440 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:54:18 +0000 Bao 1106440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I pick Ella because that will be our babies name if we have a girl ;) Evelyn is pretty too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-girls-name#post-1106436 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 19:47:56 +0000 gotkimchi 1106436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!!

We were originally going to do Ella but then I got worried it's too popular? But after all the back and forth these are our top choices.
