We decided not to spell it Isla because we live in a state with lots of Spanish speakers and to them it is their word for Island, as pronounced EeesLah... like La Isla Bonita. Therefore we chose ILA!

Definitely a wonderful name. However, you need to learn to speak English properly. "...it suits our son perfectLY..." not "perfect." Learn to use an adverb "mother" and teach your perfectly named son how to us the English language perfectly.

My baby'son is called Evan and I find It's not a comman name in the UK but originates from Wales. I love this name as he's a piece of Heaven'to me or should I say Evan. Alot of people get confused with how you prenounce the name. He gets called Avan, Even, Heaven. His dad is called Jonathan and apparantely Evan is welsh for John.

I really like the name Evan. i've only known a few people with this name. That's why I like it, plus It's easy to say, not hard to spell and I don't think It's over'sed.

I love the name. It's my second son's name. My only regret is that It's become a little more popular than I wanted it to since 2004. I noticed that othe's said the'same thing. I did know an adult Evan as I was growing up, but that was the only person I'd known personally with that name. Then I read a story called "Evan's Corner," and the name'stuck with me as a possibility for a son's name'someday, even'though I wasn't even married then. All I had to do was convince my husband when'the time came. That wasn't easy until I told him It's the Welsh form of John, as so many othe's have pointed out!

My first son's name is Evan. His fathe's name is Shawn, so we settled on Evan which is the Welch form of John and Shawn is the Irish form of John. This way he is sort of named after his father without being a junoir.

On my son's (Evan) mom's side there is very heavy use of the name John. We wanted to do so again but settled on Evan to avoid confusion. I wanted an creative snappy Anglo name that'sounded common but never actually used or heard. We have learned from several sources later that Evan is Welch for John afterall.

I am a 63 year old FEMALE and my name is Evan. My mother had chosen'this name before I was even born, and of course she did not know the gender before hand. (Middle name Dale). It was difficult when I was young, but i've "grown into it". Many people really like it. Also, many, many times I'meet people and they're expecting a man, then'they meet me. My mother liked the name, and that was that. And as for pronunciation❀️ When people see me and THEN see my name, they can't just say "Evan" they twist it and turn it until it comes up to something they think sounds feminine. Yvonne, Evonne, Evelyn, E-VAN... *sigh*

My son's name is James Evan (we call him Evan). It is an awesome name, but we had trouble settling on it. His name was actually Ian for the first 3 days of his life until we changed the paperwork at the last minute in the hospital! There is a not-so-nice song by Sublime about an Evan. Which is sorta what brought it to our minds, but he is definitely not named for that'song.

My name is Evan and it is a family name (Welsh for John). It was my great-grandfathe's name on my mothe's side. I was born in 1976 so I have not run into too many othe's until a few years ago and one was a woman that is several years younger than me. She also said it was a family name and she never liked it because she knew it was a masculine name (or was). It'seems to have gained popularity over the past several years.

My name is Evin, and my mom spelled it that way because she took the beginning of my grandpa❀️s name Everard, and the last two letters of my other grandpa❀️s name which is Kevin. My middle name is Charles after my great grandfather.

Stop naming your kids Evan. My name is Evan and back in the'sixties when I was growing up I never met another Evan and got used having a unique name. When ever anyone spoke Δ±EvanΔ± I knew they were talking to me. Now I have a conditioned response to turn my head every time I hear the name called. With all the parents calling for there young Evans I'm getting whiplash. Stop it. (But if you do at least spell it right.)

I didn't know ANYONE named Evan when I was growing up, but have always loved the name. It's masculine, but with a sensitive side, and familiar but not trendy. I named my son (born in 2018) Evan Grey, and now all of a sudden everywhere we go there seem to be a hundred Evans! I was definitely hoping the name would stay out of the limelight! Still, I don't think it will ever'seem dated the way something like Jaden or Isabella will 20 years from now.

The first time I heard the name Landon was when I watched MTV's Real World and there was a hot guy named Landon on the'show. I fell in love with the name and said if I ever have a boy he will have that name. Sure enough, I had a boy in 2018 and named him Landon. I think It's kind of neat that I have a story behind how I got his name.
