I would say EV-eh-len for a girl/woman, EE-veh-len for other things -- Evelyn Waugh, Crabtree and Evelyn.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

ION, I have a ten o'clock meeting out of the office, so for now I'm still in pajamas. I have to remember to leave eventually, though!

Trust my rage
I love name discussions.
I would say Ee.veh.lyn or Ehv.ah.lyn. We need flea for this discussion.

“Not dead yet!”
Oy-- I just posted a WIP chapter on my LJ as part of a blog tour. I feel sick.
Someone tell me something fun to distract me.

One grandmother was named Estella Marie, but called Dorothy.
Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy.

Just added to mine!

We, and the other child Evelyns I know, say EV - schwa - lin, which spoken fast occasionally comes out EV-lin. Dillo calls her EHW-win, but he's two, and the letter L is hard. My best friend is named EVE-lyn, a family name, and has found that people almost always get it wrong (she's called Lyn for every day).

They call me Mimi; I don't know why.
