It borrows some appeal from being a mixture of Violet and Evelyn, and from being novel - but it's just not quite pretty. It leaves me pretty cold. I might propose it as the brand-name for a new design of composting toilet.That said ... it doesn't offend me and if I met someone named Evolet I wouldn't really bat an eye. It's like Novalee or Everly or Oaklynn, a modern invention that is pretty bland and fashionable. I guess it has more of an "upscale" sound-style, though, doesn't come off so "trendy" ... like a moodier, more dramatic aesthetic.Evoleht looks bad to me - the h doesn't change the prn, looks like a weird error.
Evoleth is confusing to me if it's pronounced ev-o-let and not -leth.

Evolet is definitely better than those other two, but the name's invention for a prehistoric woman in an action movie is very off putting.

Evolet is best spelling, don't like the name though, prefer Yvette

Evolet and Evoleht sound pretty but their spellings bother me. Evoleth is not in my favor because of TH sound. I like Evolette, Evelette and even Evalette better - although the last two might be mispronounced initially, since they contain Eve and Eva respectfully.

Evolet, solely. The name per se is alright, I'm not crazy about it. It could work in real life.

I really like Evolet. Evoleht is awful.

I can see it working on a girl, and I prefer the straightforward spelling of Evolet, though Evoleth is alright too. I think you'd have to point out to everyone writing it, just how Evoleht is spelled, since you can't hear that (at least to me).
