We are trying for number two yet but I wanted thoughts on this name. My daughters name has a v in it. I knew an Evan growing up but just one.
Any thoughts, what middle name,"?

I like the name. The first middle name that came to mind was James. I think a one-syllable classic would be a good choice!

Love that name - we would have considered it for our LO if it wasn't for a close friend that was already named it. I immediately thought of James for a middle name, too!

I don't know why but the first middle name that popped into my head for Evan was Charles! I love the name Evan btw.

Charles, but I'm biased because our LO is Evan Charles
We both loved Evan James, but one of our best friends is named James, so it never made the short list

i looooove the name evan. we seriously considered it for lil' CB. it is gaining in popularity, if that is a factor at all. i like evan paired with a longer middle name...like, evan alexander, evan matthew, or evan jonathan. i like the way it balances out the way it looks when it's written.
on a side note, friends of ours almost named their 2nd son evan. the reason they didn't was because their older son, who was 3 at the time, kept calling his to-be-born baby brother "effin'" ha!

@sloaneandpuffy: that is so funny, James was the first name that came to my mind too!

@FutureMrsMcK: Haha and that is probably why Charles was the first name that popped into my head to go with Evan. I swear I'm not a stalker lol

@Running Elley: Haha when I read your post I was wondering if that was the name you thought of because I've plastered it everywhere

I think Joseph, Mitchell, or Walker would sound good with Evan!

Thanks! I like Raymond and Charles for a middle name because they are both family names.
Any idea where Evan is at in popularity?

Apparently James is very popular! It was the first thing I thought of as well.

@kentuckygirl: That's the first thing that came into my head too, Evan Michael.
I like the name Evan a lot!

love that name! i know a girl that just named her son evan and gave him her hubby's first name as the middle. Evan Andrew!

Evan is great! Love it! And it pairs well with a lot of names... everyone has had good suggestions. I'm a fan of using family names - maybe a grandad's name or one of your mother's maiden names?

I like Evan too. It's on my list. However, DH wants our first son's middle name to be Edward after his grandfather, and I'm not a hue fan of Evan Edward. Might keep it in mind in case we have 2 boys someday.

@futuremama: Aww I actually dont' mind Evan Edward. Plus he would go by Evan Lastname and Evan Edward Lastname (said all together) doesn't sound weird.

Evan is on our short-list for our son, due in January. His middle name will be Michael.
ETA: Per The Baby Name Wizard, Evan is #38 in the US.

I know a few Evans- all are great guys in their late 30s/ early 40s.
