Comments for the name Evadne

I've never heard this name before - it's so pretty and wonderful! Very unique!

This is the name of a character is the book "The Knight and the Dove," by Lori Wick.

Evadne Baker played Sister Bernice in The Sound of Music.

It has a really depressive origin, but it's a great name. The spelling reminds me of Evangeline, which reminds me of Nanny McPhee, which is a cute movie.

I think this is a really cool name. I have a friend who has several cousins with this name, and she actually bears a modern, Anglicized variation of the name: Evanthia. I don't know if it's common in Greece but several members of her family, going back generations have the names Evanthia or Evadne.

Very unique and pretty.

Evanthia is not an Anglicized variation of Evadne, it's a completely different name.
