How would YOU pronounce Evelyn?

Question

I think we're going to call our 2nd baby Evelyn Grace, thanks to all the help we recieved. Her sisters name is Sophia Rose... :)

but how would YOU pronounce EVELYN?

I know how im going to pronounce it, i just want to see how many people get it right/wrong...

Answer 1

oh god, one's the male version and one's the female and i can never remember which...i'm going to look it up.

ok eve-lynn is the male version and ev-a-lynn is the female version. so let's hope you were going for ev-a-lynn otherwise that's the boy's name!

gorgeous name though, goes very well with her sister - both beautiful classy names.

Answer 2

Ev-eh- lynn

Answer 3

Evva-linn

If you want it Evelyn it needs to be spelled different, like

Eve Lyn

Answer 4

There is no "right/wrong" to this.  One person with that name might prefer Eve-linn.  Another one might prefer Ev-linn.  Still another might like Ev-u-linn or Eve-u-linn.

My preference is Ev-u-linn, which (I think) is the way the author (last name Waugh) preferred it.
