Evie is the sound of someone being called in from the garden. A pet form of Eve or Evelyn, it draws on the Hebrew Chavah, meaning life, and has long been a kitchen-table nickname in British households. The name broke onto the American Top 1000 only in 2012 but has climbed almost every year since, arriving near 284 with momentum to spare. Two syllables, all vowels, a little curl at the end. Evie carries the sunlit charm of a vintage sketchbook name—Evelyn's bright-eyed granddaughter—fresh enough for now, old enough to feel inherited. Small, luminous, wholly unfussy.
