Trying to find a perfect middle name for Evelyn?
Choosing a middle name for a baby is tough.
I remember we spent hours trying to figure out a middle name for our two daughters, having got over the first hurdle of choosing a first name.
It can be easy to get stuck over whether names sound “right” together, and whether your baby’s middle name should be something meaningful to you or just something you love.
So this article is going to help you track down the perfect middle name that works with Evelyn.
I’ve got a long list of options that go beautifully – from popular middle names to more unique and lesser used ideas and some super cute baby name theme ideas too.
What does Evelyn mean?
Evelyn is a feminine girl’s name meaning desired, wished for and island.
Due to this meaning it can be a popular girl’s name for a rainbow baby, or just a very appropriate name for parents who have been yearning for a baby.
It’s a popular name among parents thanks to its delicate and wistful sound, plus it can be shortened in a variety of ways.
Evie has become a popular first name in its own right, however some parents like to go with the longer version as a given name and use Evie as a nickname.
Evelyn is in the top 25 most popular girl names in England and Wales, and the top 10 most used girl names in the US.
What middle names go with Evelyn?
As Evelyn is a three-syllable name it’s already a bit of a mouthful, so you may wish to stick with one or two syllable middle names.
Having said that, those who love a complicated and fancy name can still find three and even four syllable middle names that work beautifully with Evelyn.
I especially lovely how Evelyn sounds with other names starting with E, such as Evelyn Eliza and Evelyn Enid.
Vintage girl baby names for Evelyn include Evelyn Victoria, Evelyn Flora, Evelyn Elizabeth and Evelyn Olive.
However this name also pairs well with modern favourites such as Evelyn Amelia, Evelyn Olivia, Evelyn Harper and Evelyn Ruby.
I love the uncommon pairings too, such as Evelyn Dixie, Evelyn Snow and Evelyn Blake.

Tips for choosing your baby’s name
If you’re still struggling to finalise your choices for your baby’s name then try these tips.
Have a shortlist each
You may not agree with your partner on what the best baby name is, so each take time to create your own shortlists.
Next swap your lists and see if there are any definite ones to rule out on each other’s lists. You should each be able to veto the names you really hate.
Now you can take some time to discuss the shortlists and whittle them down to your favourite.
Take a time out
If you have hit a dead end with finalising your decision then take some time out to consider the names for a few weeks.
I recommend putting your list of top baby names you love on the fridge where you can see them every day. Then you can consider them properly.
Say the names out loud and write them down
Putting pen to paper and seeing the names written down, as well as spoken out loud, can really help you make your choice.
You need to include the baby’s surname as well to figure out whether you love the name.
And don’t forget to write down the baby’s initials too, just to see if they spell out anything you would want to avoid.
Sentimental names are great
Names that are connected to your family or that signify something really special to you are a wonderful idea for a middle name.
For example the Beckhams called their daughter Harper Seven – because the number has special sentimental meaning to them (David Beckham was Number 7 when he played football).
Think about any people, places, animals and objects that have a great meaning to you and whether that can inspire your baby name choice.
But you don’t have to choose a family name
Having said the above, I also think it’s important to not be driven only by the need for a sentimental name.
You don’t have to choose a name connected to your families, especially if there aren’t any options you really love or if picking one would upset someone else.
