Sorry I've been posting here so much...

Is it completely stupid to have a child named Devon and another one named Evan??

I like the name Evan I just think the kids will get confused or something when they get older.

Middle name is decided on and its going to be John.
What do you think?

yes. yes it is.

and not only that but Evan is the Welsh form of John. so you'd basically be naming your kid "John John"

haha way back when, when my grandpa whose name was john, made his confirmation and had to pick a confirmation name (not sure if you are Catholic or familiar with this tradition, but it's usually a Saint's name and becomes part of your name.) he chose St.John. yeah I know original. and seeing as he had no mn, it made his new name "John John".

to the OP, I think they are both great names but too similar in sound for siblings.

i know way back when, parents sometimes chose names that were also the same as their last names. i saw an obituary in the paper for Amos B. Amos :X

also in Catch 22 there was a character who was called Major Major Major Major (title, fn, mn, ln)

That's why I always find P.Diddy's name (Sean John) to be hilarious.
