What do you think of Evelyn? names meaning bird?

What do you think of the name Evelyn? Is it too old fashion? It means Beautiful Bird.





I want a girls name that means bird, or a type of bird, or something about birds.





Like Ava, but less common. The meaning doesn't have to be just bird, but a type of bird too or something related.

Reply:I LOVE Evelyn. And so what if it's old-fashioned. Look at the names that are super popular right now - Emma, Hannah, Isabella, etc - they were considered "old lady names" just a couple years ago, and now half the babies in country have those names and people are avoiding them because they're too "trendy!" A child named Evelyn will have a beautiful name that's familiar but not so common that it's overused.





Evie is a cute nickname, too! (pronounced either "ee-vee" or "eh-vee" - both are cute).





Other bird names:





Dove


Lark


Wren

Reply:Evelyn to me is an old lady name. I worked for years as a nurse aide and had several Evelyns who were patients. However that generation will be long gone by the time a baby born today grows up into adulthood. It won't be seen as an old lady name anymore. That aside the name isn't bad at all. I wouldn't choose it but I wouldn't put the name down.
Reply:Congrats on your baby girl! My friend just named her baby Evelyn and at first I thought it was too old fashioned but after seeing her grow a little bit she fits into her name.

Reply:Evelyn is my grandmothers name. I've always loved it. My most recent cousin was also name Evelyn after grandma, and we call her Evie (eh-vee)...a little more updated of a nickname for a beautiful old name!
