[Poll #1639577]Months and months ago I posted about how to best spell this name. Evil Lee was my great aunt (pn like Emily with a V). I'm trying to use the name in a story and can't decide on how to spell it. Even though it was her real name, naming a character Evil seems like trying too hard as most will pn it like the word evil. Going through family records, even Evil changed the spelling several times LOL. I've found Eval Lee, Evelee, Evalee, and Evillee. How would you spell it? Other spelling superstitions welcomed!

evalee looks the most like a real name

For Irish-Arkansas hillbillies, her parents were creative for their time LOL. Evil's sisters included Jeweldean, Monnie Anne, and Pearl Adola.

Today, I heard one of the teachers at my boy's school yelling at Levi-Diamond.

I agree; Evalee looks (and reads) better, imo.

I like Evalie.

[chronologie.livejournal.com]

there's no such thing as a long or short v?

Ooh, you could always use Everly if you can't decide on spelling and still want a similar sound!

i stared at this forever and I am still not sure!! I REALLY like that name though!

I think Evalee or Evalie looks ok but when I look at them I still read it as Eva-Lee, not like Emily with a v

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

I would go with Evalee, Evalie or Evaleigh
