I'm not sure about this name, mainly because the -lyn ending slightly turns me off. It seems kind of trashy, which is weird because this is such a classy name. What do you guys think of Evelyn?

And how does Evelyn Amelia sound?

I like it a lot, but Evelyn isn't one I'd ever use myself. My best friend wants to use the name Evelyn Claire for her first daughter, though, and I've always thought it was really cute.

Evelyn Amelia is a great combo:)

I love Evelyn, especially with the nick-name "Eve." Evelyn Amelia, though, doesn't sound quite right to me. I think it's because the E/A at the begining sounds almost the same.

I love it. Evelyn and Amelia are two of my favorite names.

I think it's classic and pretty, and one of those names that - through popularity and all - will never be too bad or too blah.

I love the name Evelyn--a girl in my school shortens it to Evie.

Evelyn Amelia is gorgeous!

I love the name Evelyn, it's still on my list! And I love the nick name Evie, (eve-ee) because Evelyn might seem a little grown up on a baby. All in all, good choice!

I'm not a fan of Evelyn, but I think it isn't trashy at all! =)
Evelyn Amelia sounds good =)

Evelyn is awesome and I don't know how you see trashy. I think the combo is pretty good. And I agree with the nn Evie as a kid.
