Re: Dance Concert names
Eve /Evie/Evelyn is insanely popular here. I know at least 5 or 6 little ones. Theodora has an Evie in her class, in mums group, in music, in swimming nd in dancing!
Evelyn is always EV-uh-lyn here. We are not good at pronouncing our r's. Many people spell names more phonetically liek we pronounce them here which makes them seem rough sounding (I think) like Taylor on girls is almost always Tayla/Taylah now.

Interesting indeed - thanks! So Evelyn = EVuhlyn but still shortens to Evie, not Evvie? OK ... who needs logic when you've got people?
