Personal experiences with the name Evan

I have a brother named Evan. It is a name that works well as a child and an adult. I love the name and plan on using it myself!

My son is Evan Pine. I think that it is a strong name and it is just as common as it is uncommon. I think it's becoming more popular though.

I knew an Evan when I was younger. Didn't really like him but now that I think about it, I really like the name Evan which is a shame.

My lovely nephew is called Evan and I absolutely love his name. It really annoys me that some people just can't get it and continue to call him 'Ewan' despite correction! I also hate it when girls are called Evan, it should not be a girls name! We do not pronounce it 'Evin' like it says to on here, we pronounce it more like Ev'n.
