After this post you will realize just how random I really am. Don't ask me where this subject came from, but I haven't stopped thinking about it for the past 24-48 hours. It is time to let it out.
You know when someone ruins a name? Like when you are picking a name for your child, or someone else is...they say the name...and you think "I knew someone in high school with that name AND he cheated on me"...well you can't name your kid that now. You get the idea, right?
Have you ever met another Evonne...not Yvonne or Yuvon...an Evonne? Okay, so I was named after my Grandma Yuvon. My parents put a little spin on it, and came up with Evonne. I have never once met another one of my kind. Of course my name has never been in the top 100 baby names (that I know of) and its obviously not very cutsie. I have always thought those were the reasons my name is so uncommon, but is it really because I am ruining the name? Have you ever thought of that? When someone is picking the name for their child...and the wife says, " Evonne, what do you think?" The husband replies, "I knew a girl named Evonne in high school and she was a huge gossip...I don't think so!"
The question is this; are you doing a disservice to your name or are you living up to its full potential? Would people who know you give their child your name or would they be dissuaded based on how you are living your life?

Oh wow, that's something to think about. I've never thought of that. I'm sure there's a few people out there who can't use my name because they know me!
I am sure that when some people hear my name it send cold shivers down their spine! I never really thought about it though. I better start being nice now!
I hate my name...I am not sure why. I would hope no one would name their baby Kim. I just don't love it.
HOTTIE!!!!!!!
This is the best picture I have seen of you! Love your hair, and I LOVE orange on you!!
How many people actually like their name? I have hated mine since I could remember. I think that I am finally growing in to my Grandma name! =)
I like my name...just don't like the Beatles song that much anymore.
And yes, I would absolutely name a child Evonne - after you of course
My name is Evonne, too. The way you spell it. My mother named me after Evonne Goolagong, a famous tennis player...? I've always loved my name, because it was unique, and no one else had it. It was spelled nicely, not Yvonne, I always hated that spelling. I've never heard of another Evonne either, haha.
