We hear the local anchor babies names spelled in each of those ways; and sometimes with the “Y” as the first letter.

From your choices, I would pick Audrey, which I’ve always liked because Audrey Hepburn was so beautiful, or Clara. There aren’t that many young Claras these days, but it’s a lovely name, and the actual, original name of St. Clare, who was Italian after all. My oldest daughter, known here as “Seaman Anoreth,” is Josephine Victoria Clare.

If you’re going to use a name like “Evelyn,” which I wouldn’t because it’s unisex, use the standard spelling and save your child a lifetime of hassle.

My daughters are Josephine Victoria Clare (Josie, Yoselle), Eleanor Grace (Elen), and Sabina Rose (Sally).

Thanks! Best wishes for your selection ... pick something that sounds good after “President” ;-).
