What do you think of Evert? According to behindthename.com it's a low German version of Everard that means "brave boar".

I've been trying to get my husband away from Alexander (I just don't really like it) so I had him look at some names from The Baby Name Wizard (just got it and so I far I like it) trying to find something else we could agree on and we found this in German/Dutch section. Middle name will be Lee.

Our girl's name is Hana Rose.

And we're still about two years away from having kids so there's still alot of time.

evert is lovely! Gerhardt is another German name I love :)Saying that, Everard is gorgeous too.

I like Everett, but my husband doesn't seem to.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

What about Everett instead. To me Evert sounds like nonsense. I'm not saying it is but just to the ear it sounds like it.

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm still getting a feel for it.

Gerhardt would probably be too Germen because we have a very Germen last name.

Husband won't go for it, but I like. I know that it seems nonsense which is why I did some research.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

Plus I bet he would end up getting called Everett all his life anyways....So there's that to think of.

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

Yes and the exact same thing is going to happen with Hana (pronounced ha-na). Another reason why I'm iffy, but the husband can be very stubborn.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

Maybe you could spell it Hahna, which I actually kind of like.

And when you're the one carrying it for 9 months your hubby needs to compromise. Haha.

[makeitstopjamie.livejournal.com]

I think I prefer Hana.

I've been trying to tell him that, but he says he'll change the name when I'm out of it (don't know if he actually will or not).

ha, Evert is a surname in my family, such as the tennis player Chris Evert. to me, it doesn't work as a first name.

evert seems... incomplete. misspelled. or something. i understand that it isnt, but it looks it to me.

i love everett though! its a family name for me.

[chadam-lives.livejournal.com]

yeah probably, but I wasn't really giving it as a proper suggestion, i was just saying that I loved the name lol. :P

I know some people called Evert...it's relatively common here (The Netherlands). It's pronounced AY-vert.
I'm personally not a fan...too old-fashioned for my taste.

Evert is weird and not nice. I don't like it at all.

Everett, as suggested, is nice, but Evert should not be the compromise :\
