原文: First off, Evelyn is super popular. I mean, where do you people come from? If you ever looked on the charts (which I doubt you have since you keep saying Evelyn is "uncommon") you'd see that in almost every place in the world Evelyn is higher than lets just say for example Sarah *gasp* I know! It's even more popular than Elizabeth, Julia and Victoria. This is in 2015. I know that almost everywhere Evelyn is higher than Sarah but the other names I only am 100% sure are less popular than Evelyn are in Canada which is where I am from.
原文: My grandmother was Evelyn Octivia and my mom is Evelyn Delight and I'm Evelyn Elsbeth, and before them were two other Evelyns so I am the 5th one... my nickname is Evie... and when I was younger and went out partying, someone would ask me my name and if I felt playful I would tell them (Evil-lyn) and if I was trying to play off the better than thou attitude I would tell them (Hea-va-lyn) and if just with lots of friends I would just be Evelyn... but all close family and friends have always just called me Evie... first E short vowel and I silent and second e long vowel... I love my name and always happy to meet someone else named Evelyn.
原文: This is my name and I go by Evy (pronounced EH-VEE) and I hate my name. Kids at school always make fun of my name by saying it's an old lady name or they snicker whenever a substitute teacher says my name out loud. I remember being like 7/8 and introducing myself to someone on the school bus and they said "Evy? Like Eve or what? Should I just call you Christmas or New Years Eve!?" I do get compliments though when I introduce myself to adults. Evy is okay for a nickname but LITERALLY 99% of people spell it like Evie and THAT'S NOT MY NAME. Anyways, I don't recommend naming your child this if you want them to get made fun of.

翻译文: 绝对只为女孩。这是一个从女性的名字,不是男性的姓。
原文: Definetly only for girls. It's a surname from a feminine name, not masculine.
原文: I personally kinda like it as a male name, but only when pronounced Eev-lin, all other ways are feminine to me. I have no idea why, especially seeing as how I'm American and have never encountered a male person with this name (or a female for that matter).Though really I only like it when pronounced Eev-lin, so I guess I prefer it as a male name...
原文: My name is Evelyn. Male Evelyn, pronounced eev'-lin. It seems like it's a completely feminine name in the US but here in the UK it's much more androgynous, if rare all across the board. I actually changed my own name to Evelyn because my given name was pretty dire, and if you're going to change your legal name, I figure, you might as well pick something interesting.In debates I've had about whether it's a masculine or feminine name, other Brits generally feel that Evelyn as a girl's name is somewhat pretentious.
原文: Just to mention, in my country, even if rarely used, Evelyn/Evelin is a male name. The female version is Evelyna/Evelina. Most of our female names end with "-a", so hard to think of Evelyn as a name for a female.
原文: Evelyn doesn't have to be linked to Eve, which some people may find off putting. It can be said as ev - ah - lyn, as apposed to eve - lyn, and nicknames such as Evy (ev - ee) or just Ev can be used instead of Eve.

翻译文: 美丽,可爱,优雅的名字。我爱一个女孩的名字伊夫林。这是一个美好的复古名称。 :)
原文: Beautiful, cute, classy name. I love the name Evelyn for a girl. This is a wonderful vintage name. :)
原文: This name is obviously for a girl. I don't get how it sounds masculine for some people. Also, for me it doesn't sound old fashioned, but it's better than modern names like Brittney. The way I pronounce it, and people I know is Eh-Ve-Lyn or Eh-Ve-Leen.
原文: I'm the oddball here - I don't like this for a girl at all. It actually sounds better suited to a male (similar to Everett, Evan, etc). To me, it sounds like the old-fashioned guys' name that it is (like Ira).
原文: It seems crazy to me that 100 years ago names like Evelyn and Vivian were used for boys - now they're wholly feminine. What's even more curious is that, while Vivian is probably my favorite feminine name, and I love names with the 'v' sound in general (Donovan, Silvana, Yvette, etc.), I don't like Evelyn very much. I think it's because all the vowels are so short.Aveline, on the other hand, is lovely.

翻译文: Evelyn West(出生于Amy May Coomer)(出生:1921年1月30日)是四十年代,五十年代和六十年代的美国滑稽传说。
原文: Evelyn West (born Amy May Coomer) (Born: January 30, 1921) was an American burlesque legend of the forties, fifties, and sixties.
原文: How this name used to be a males name only, scares me. Evelyn is not suitable for a boy one bit. It's not masculine at all.The only masculine name even close would be like Evan or Franklin. Naming a boy this where I live would be so degrading.

翻译文: 这样一个漂亮的名字,但在一个家伙...不是。我爱一个女孩,它的女性和优雅。
原文: Such a pretty name, but on a guy... not. I love it on a girl, it's feminine and classy.
原文: Evelyn is, IMO, a beautiful name, but is rare and "old-fashioned" in that it was popular in the early 20th century. There was a popular song of the 1940's about "heavenly Evelyn."In the U.S., I've only heard it pronounced Ev-Lin or Ev-A-Lin. In the UK, it is pronounced both Ev-A-Lin and Eve-A-Lin. Personal preference, apparently. Also in the UK, it can be a female OR male name. On a British TV episode ("Foyle's War") I heard different actors refer to a woman named Evelyn Green using both the "Eve" and the "Ev" pronunciations. Curious.
原文: My name is Evelyn. I was born in 1953. My mum named me after her closest friend born in the 1920's. I was the only Evelyn at school. We are still few and far between.
原文: My mother (b. 1925) was named after her Aunt Evelyn (b. 1906). When I was born in 1952, my parents also named me Evelyn. Needless to say, when I was growing up, most people named Evelyn were a generation or more removed. However, now the name is trendy again.
原文: My name is Evelyn! It wasn't very common when I was born, except for on older women. When I was younger I disliked it for that reason, but around junior high I started to appreciate its old fashioned charm. I'm very happy it's making such a comeback- if it wasn't my name I would seriously consider it for a daughter. Interesting how much someone's perspective can change on a name, especially when it's their own :-)

翻译文: 一个可爱的老派中性名字。没错,UNISEX。
原文: A lovely old-school unisex name. That's right, UNISEX.
原文: One of the few names ending in -lyn that I actually really like. My guess is the fact that it does end in -lyn is a factor in its sudden popularity, along with a revival of some pretty great 19th century names. Evelyn has withstood the test of time and can suit any age without sounding out of place... It's just a beautiful name! Of course Evie can be a nickname, (adorable) or maybe Linnie, if you want to use the end sound of the name. I highly recommend this name, use it now before it becomes too trendy!

翻译文: 爱这个名字!很高兴看到它的回归,美丽的复古名字,如伊芙琳,比垃圾的“时尚”的名字好多了!
原文: Love this name! So happy to see it's making a comeback, beautiful vintage names like Evelyn are so much better than trashy "trendy" names!
原文: Sorry, but this name has not outgrown its old-lady status. I don't know how people can want to name a baby girl this when the nursing homes are filled with Evelyns. Also it's not a very nice sounding name; brings to mind the words javelin and evil.

翻译文: 爱这个名字。昵称Evie使它更现代。
原文: Love this name. The nickname Evie makes it more modern.
原文: Evelin is also sometimes used as an Anglicisation of the Irish or Aibhilín and Éibhleann. Aibhilín is a variant form of Eibhlín, which is also derived from the Norman French Aveline. Éibhleann, on the other hand, is said to be derived from the Old Irish óiph, which means "radiance", "beauty"; a variant of this name is Éibhliu, another Anglicised form of the name is Evilin.
原文: Oh. I didn't know this was a masculine name as well as feminine. I don't like this for a masculine name at ALL. However, I LOVE the name Evelyn for a girl. Love, love, love. I also think the nickname Evie is really cute.
原文: Evelyn McHale, the beauty who jumped off the Empire State Building and killed herself. She was cradled by a taxi, and a photographer took a famous photo of her lying there peacefully, which was shown in TIME.
原文: In the new spy thriller "Salt", Angelina Jolie stars as a CIA operative (Evelyn Salt) on the run. The movie focuses upon the plight of a government agent who has been wrongly accused of being a Russian assassin that is out to take down the U.S. President.Also including Liev Schreiber (as Ted Winter) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (as Peabody).A Columbia Pictures production from writer Kurt Wimmer.

翻译文: 我真的很喜欢这个名字。这是如此活泼和乐趣。
原文: I really like this name. It's so lively and fun.
原文: I do not think the argument for Evelyn as a male name is very good. True, it's technically from a surname, but the surname comes directly from the female name Aveline. I personally see this name as a "reinterpretation" of Aveline or Eveline, or an elaboration of Eve, and not as a surname-name at all. So it boggles me a bit on boys.

翻译文: Evelyn Nesbit,出生的佛罗伦萨Evelyn Nesbit,是一个模型和百老汇合唱的女孩在20世纪初,谁成为着名的长,波浪的红头发和令人惊叹的美丽。她恶毒的丈夫,Harry解冻,谋杀了斯坦福·怀特,一个三十多岁的老人,她十六岁时与她有过的事情,她成为臭名昭着。 L. M. Montgomery基于她最着名的人物,Anne Shirley的样子,一张从杂志上剪下的青少年Evelyn的照片。
原文: Evelyn Nesbit, born Florence Evelyn Nesbit, was a model and Broadway chorus girl in the early 1900s, who became famous for her long, wavy red hair and stunning beauty. She became notorious when her abusive husband, Harry Thaw, murdered Stanford White, a man more than thirty years her senior with whom she had had an affair when she was sixteen. L. M. Montgomery based the looks of her most famous character, Anne Shirley, off a photo of a teenaged Evelyn she cut from a magazine.
原文: Evelyn Dick who was on trial for cutting up her husband's torso and murdering him. She's a Canadian from around Ontario and it was the 1930's I believe when she was on trial. Had a daughter too. Very famous and pretty woman. She disappeared about 1980's. They're was a movie called Torso based on her trail and such.

翻译文: 我有一个西班牙语的朋友用这个名字,虽然她发音Ev-a-leen。
原文: I have a Spanish-speaking friend with this name, though she pronounces it Ev-a-leen.
原文: My best friend's name. She's a smart, kind, gifted, pretty girl, and that's also my impression of this name. It's a little old-fashioned, but that's kind of what I like about it.
原文: Generally speaking I've always thought of Evelyn as a girls name, thinking it completely strange that my grandfather has this as a middle name. His name is Frederick Victor Evelyn (LN) and he was born in 1920. I just thought his parents gave him a dud name, having used such pretty names on all of his older siblings.

翻译文: 我绝对喜欢这个名字!它是如此甜蜜和漂亮。
原文: I absolutely love this name! It's so sweet and pretty.
原文: It's a pretty name, and it doesn't sound like the blatantly Christian name Eve. The problem is that most girls named Evelyn will be called Eve, and the name is totally boring and makes me think of wacky Christians and their rants. Since the name is quite overused and still very common, I wouldn't use it, and it is quite clearly related to the name Eve, I'd rather use the name Avalyn, in honor of the beautiful and epic tracks Avalyn and Avalyn II by Slowdive.
原文: My name is Evelyn and I am the only person I know with my name. I love it because I'm not just another Sarah, Stephanie or Danielle. It's timeless and classic. This name will always find favour in any age. Do I sound too modest? lol.
原文: I like that it can be said it came from "Aveline" which came from "Ava" which possibly means "desired". That just adds to the love I have for the name, and the wish to use it. Because I want a baby so bad, that she will truly be 'desired' completely.
原文: I love this name, and plan to use it. I don't think it's outdated or too old fashioned at all. It's classic, and can be shortened down to several pretty nicknames. Unlike some of the more trashy trendy names that have become popular, you'll know that Evelyn has the lasting power to not make your child feel embarrassed later in life. I plan to use the nick name, "Evy" (not 'EVE-y' but "EVV-y").

翻译文: 虽然男性作家Evelyn Waugh与一个同名的女人结婚,他被称为“He-Evelyn”,女性Evelyn是“She-Evelyn”。他的全名是Evelyn Arthur St. John Waugh,她的是Evelyn Florence Margaret Winifred Gardner(与Ava Gardner无关 - 至少我不这么认为)。
原文: While the male writer Evelyn Waugh was married to a woman of the same first name, he was known as 'He-Evelyn' and the female Evelyn was 'She-Evelyn'. His full name was Evelyn Arthur St. John Waugh and hers was Evelyn Florence Margaret Winifred Gardner (no relation to Ava Gardner - at least I don't think so anyway).
原文: Two famous bearers, actually! The author, Evelyn Waugh - most certainly a man - married a woman named Evelyn. They were referred to by their friends as The Evelyns.

翻译文: 也许看看Evelina,这将更接近Ewelina。同样的发音。
原文: Perhaps look at Evelina, which would be closer to Ewelina. Same pronunciation.
原文: I see that in English-speaking countries the name Evelyn seems to be a little bit old-fashioned. I'm from Poland and its Polish version - Ewelina - is pretty popular over here. It was given mostly in the 80's and 90's (me, for example). I've met many women named like this. As I've said, I'm Ewelina, too, so I'm not objective but I think that Evelyn (pronounced in English) is a name full of classic charm. And I really don't want it to gain popularity.
原文: Evelyn to me sounds like a name best suited for someone born in the 1920s or 1930s rather then now a day. It sounds too outdated to me to ever be used or liked.
原文: Evelyn was the name of the Egyptian/English woman from 'The Mummy'.I love this name; it's in the top few of my favorites. I'd definitely consider naming a child this, and I love the nickname 'Evie'.
原文: My current favourite girls name! I absolutely love it.Yes, I understand that Evelyn was once a male surname like the dreaded Madison, but unlike Madison the MALENESS is not so heavily emphasised, and it has also been in adequate female use for over a hundred years. Female Madisons have only been around for about thirty years.
原文: Sorry, but this just isn't a male name. It is PURELY feminine, to me. I mean, when I added this name, I thought it was feminine, and its popularity was female. And that, to me, is what's more important. The first impression after you have seen it!
原文: My grandmother's name is Evelyn, and I've always loved it (she absolutely refuses to tell me her middle name! maybe it's really bad?). She was born in 1925, and back then it was pretty popular. At least she didn't get stuck with Mary or Betty! Through the century, Evelyn remained being used, just not as frequently, but lately it's been becoming more and more popular. Anyway, I would definitely consider using Evelyn as a middle name for a future daughter if I have one.

翻译文: 在电影“戒指2”中,邪恶的萨马拉的母亲的名字是伊芙琳。
原文: In the movie The Ring 2, the evil Samara's mother's name is Evelyn.
原文: Evelyn was the name of Kate Beckinsale's character in the film "Pearl Harbor." After I learned here that Evelyn means "bird" I understood why they chose it! The movie dealt largely with pilots. Pilots fly. So do birds. That character could also be described as flighty. During the film she flitted back and forth from one man to another. Despite my somewhat negative association above, I love the name Evelyn and have for as long as I can remember. I would seriously consider it for a daughter. I almost always want to avoid names that have several pronunciations because one of them usually ends up bothering me. I’ve never heard Evelyn pronounced in a way that made my blood boil though. EH-vel-in, EV-lyn, EEV-lyn…I like ‘em all. A friend noted to me that the sound reminds her of the word “evil.†Inexplicably, even that doesn’t put me off! A real favorite.
原文: My name is Evelyn and I like it because it's unique, no one has it. I read it meant 'quiet and agreeable'. It's either pronounced eve-lyn or ev-a-lyn.
原文: While I spell it Evlyn (and have had to put up with innumerable misspellings) I have always loved my name because it is so rarely used these days. There may have been 10 Sarahs and Lindseys in my classes, but I was always the only Evlyn.

原文: This name could also be pronounced with an "ee" sound at the beginning, Ee-veh-lynn or even Eve-lynn (like Eve and Lynn together). It´s getting a little bit popular, but it´s pretty.
原文: There was a movie entitled 'Evelyn' about an Irish man trying to get his kids back after his wife died. His daughter's name is Evelyn. It is very sad but a good movie. I love the name Evelyn. It is on my top three list!
