Evan Lysacek is currently my favorite celebrity, but I liked the name Evan before I had ever heard of him. I definitely like it for a boy - not a girl! Unfortunatly others like it too and it is getting quite common.

I like the name Evan for a boy. It is masculine and fun sounding.

A good surname could be Lee, and then it would sound like heavenly.

Brings to mind a good-looking, sensitive boy. I really like this name.

I really like the name Evan. I was on a website that said Evan was Irish for Young Warrior. I really like this name. It's adorable.

I like this name for a boy. My father's name is John, so I might use this less popular equivalent of John. I don't like Ian, another equivalent of John.

I knew a girl once named Evan.

Evan could also be a latinised form of the Old English girls' name 'Æffan' (pronounced Ev-un/an).

I like the name Evan. It's a very strong-sounding name.

I think Evan should also be considered a feminine name. You've got actress Evan Rachel Wood as an example and it's not the only girl named Evan I've heard of.

No offence, Mindy, but just because some people misuse the name doesn't mean it 'should be considered' differently. My brother's name is Evan (he's the only one, male or female, that I know) and he hates that Evan Rachel Wood's parents stole his name! If it ever 'should' be considered feminine, it should be because of the real, historical reason listed above.

I know I've already shared my opinion on this name, but I'll do it again. I still like this name, and I happen to know somebody who has it. I think most Evan's are nice people--I've never met a bad seed named Evan.

-- Penneyperson  10/16/2007

I like this name, it's short, simple and sounds good.

We love this name, we named our son Evan. This is the only name I personally liked and it is tough for me to pick and choose a name for my children being a school teacher. It is not widely used at all and it is still the name that everyone knows how to pronounce and spell! I love it!

In August Rush, August's birth name is actually Evan Taylor. He changes it to August Rush when he starts performing on stage.

From the Hebrew, Eben or Even, meaning a rock or a stone. It is found in the compound word Ebenezer in 1 Samuel 7:12 saying "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has been our help."

-- rogerelisabeth  5/7/2008

I like the name, even though it is very common and a bit dull. It has a pleasant sound, and it's short and simple. It doesn't sound like the name of a jerk either.

Cute for a little boy. Great for a teenager. Awesome for an adult. You can't go wrong with this name for either gender.

There's something about this name that appeals to me, yet I don't know what. I really like the sound of it, anyway. =D

This is probably my favorite masculine name, and yes I think it's definitely more masculine. I love this name.

-- Tawnee  8/3/2009

I LOVE this name! I imagine a good-looking guy with this name. This is actually my boyfriend's name who is 15. So, yes I love it!
