Can't decide on how many N's!

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and we have the names picked out for our baby girl coming, but we can't decide on how the spell the first name.[Poll #1319857]

The legit spelling is Evelyn.
Evelynn looks like trying to be clever merging Evelyn and Lynn.

It would look to me the same as Morgann or Briann

This.

Evelynn looks like Eve-Lynn to me, not Eh-vuh-lynn.

Evelyn looks beautiful. Evelynn looks idiotic.

Definitely one n. Also, I prefer Evalyn. Evelyn makes me want to say "Eve-lyn", instead of "Eh-vuh-lyn".

one N definitely! its the legit spelling and the other looks like it should be pronounced eve - lynn. :(

Evelyn for sure. It's headed on the way to kr8tyve with two n's.

Um, one. Last time I checked, Evelyn is the one correct spelling out there. Plus, two n's would make a classic, elegant name officially tryndee and tacky. Please don't ruin it!

Evelyn, please.

Btw, I love Evelyn Sue!

Definitely Evelyn.
Anyone who voted Evelynn is illiterate.

I believe there is a poster here with an Evelynn who now regrets it.

Anyway, Evelyn Sue is gorgeous. Are you going to be using any nickname, Eva/Evie/Eve? I have such a longing for an Evie!

Damn, some people in here are harsh!

Personally I prefer Evelyn with just one N. Two N's just seems unnecessary. But a very pretty name regardless of spelling! I like Evelyn Sue a lot! I might just have to steal that name someday.

Evelin is my spelling of choice but Evelyn looks better than Evalynn. People would end up calling her Ee-va-lin instead of Ev-ah-lin.
