Middle name for Evelyn...
My husband and I really like the name Evelyn, and we have two possible middle names that we love with it:Evelyn June
Evelyn WrenWe LOVE the middle name June, but feel like the name Evelyn should have something a bit more modern sounding to go with it, hence Wren. However, Evelyn and Wren rhythm, which might sound kind of weird.Which one do you like better?

Blugh...rhyme, I mean to say. Not rhythm. That's what I get for typing too fast.

Definitely Evelyn June. I disagree with the idea that Evelyn should have a modern sounding middle name. I only like that theory in reverse...modern sounding first name, with classic or older middle name. I also like the name June, and you're right about Evelyn and Wren not sounding quite right together because of the fact that they sort of rhyme.

Evelyn June, of course. :-DYou can't go wrong with any of these. You love it and it sounds wonderful. Why does Evelyn need something more modern with it? Both Evelyn and June are classic. The whole point of being classic is that they will both serve your dd through out her life. Nns can take care of "youthful" issues if you really feel the need. But I think Evelyn is great as is.There's always Evelyn Juno, Evelyn Junia and Evelyn Juniper if you're still not set. But trust your instincts. Evelyn June is the best choice of all.

JuneBetween the two I would pick June. Evelyn June is very sweet. Evelyn to me has such a quiet feel that anything too modern or trendy next to it is more jarring than being an update. My grandmother's name is Evelyn. :-) Her middle name is Clara, for what it's worth.

June and Rose are both middle names on my list; I love them both.With Evelyn, I prefer June.

Thanks for the input, but we just found out our baby is a BOY!I'm very excited, but I'm mourning a bit for the name Evelyn. It was going to be so lovely! Off to search my brain for the perfect boy name...
