And not at all old-fashioned, given the current trend for reviving the names of the first two decades of the 20th century. A little
Evelyn would currently share her classroom with as many girls named things like
Ivy,
Violet,
Sophia as she would girls named things like
Caitlin,
Hayley and
Emerson.
I love
Evelyn partly for itself and partly for its association with a particular movie character. It's such a soft name, and
Evie is a spunky nickname.
