Our 3 year old is named Everett. We get a lot of, "that is my grandad's (or great uncle's) name. His name has brought up good memories for people.

As uncommon as this name is, he coincedentally has a little girl named Ever in his preschool class.

I also have a 3 yr old named Everett and we get a lot of "Boy I haven't heard that name in a long time". People love his name and always compliment him on it! He also is very strong and brave (and mischievious, I might add), which supports the name's meaning. :-) My oldest is very insightful which is the meaning of his name, so I do believe in meanings!

My sons middle name :) it goes really nicely as a middle name with most first names
