One of my good friends is very, very close to having her first baby and she and her husband are at a loss for names. She thinks they've settled on Evelyn but, even though she suggested it, she's having second thoughts. Could you guys suggest similar names? Thank you so much! They've really been at a loss her whole pregnancy but she's getting dangerously close to having a baby without a name. Thank you again.

I love Eloise and Estella, but have young cousins with those names, so they are out for us :)

trying to think of a name similar to Evelyn, the first name that came to mind was Ebony Lynn :) i know you meant style and not "sounds like", but that's still where my mind went :D

I like Evelyn, so I'd mostly reassure her! =)

What about Clara or Juliet?

I love Evelyn too! My boyfriend even really likes it. What about Emmaline? It's also classic and sounds similar. I'm definitely considering these two if I ever have a daughter ;-)
