My New Niece!

Let me introduce you to Evaine Claire ("Evaine" is pronounced like the name "Elaine"). She was born last Thursday morning, just a day before her due date and just under 8lbs. She's beautiful!




Congrats to Rachel and Ramon! Can you guess where her parents got her first name from?

    I have no idea where they got it...

    You sparked my curiousity.

    So Evaine is totally pronounced like Elaine? The V sounds like an E?

    I meant the V sounds like an L?

    She's absolutely adorable! And isn't Evaine a name from the novel/movie "Stardust"?

    Think her hair is longer than mine...so lovely. I believe Evaine is the sister of wife of Sir Lancelot from Knights of the Round Table and hence she was the aunt of Sir Galahad.

    Love the name. I'm so glad to know our baby is not the only one who will suffer the "how do you pronounce that?" issues. By the way, our new baby's name is Ceili Rain (Kaylee Rain for pronunciations...and those two names are her first name!)

    There are two sources for the name Evaine.

    Evaine is a Hebrew derivation for Eve or Eva.

    Evaine was the wife of King Bors in Arthurian legend. She was the sister to Elaine.

    just googled it,

    Life in the Hebrew language. More popular in the form of "Eva" in the mid-19th century. Eve is actually the French form of the name Eva. Of course, it is more well-known for its appearance, in the Book of Genesis in the Bible, in the story of Adam and Eve.

    am I right?!

    She's a sweetie! Is the name a combination of two family members?...like Evelyn and Elaine? Or even a mix of Evelyn and Wayne, after a great-grandma and grandpa?
    Enjoyed the beach pictures too. So much love in them all.

    Blessings,
    Joy

    Apparently 'Evaine' had a son who achieved the Holy Grail. But different websites seem to have completely different explanation of the meaning of the name...??

    Got one saying it's an Irish name meaning 'young warrior' and the other saying it comes from the name 'Eve' and another saying about the Arthurian legend of Evaine being King B's wife.

    But if Evaine is a character in Stardust, I'm guessing from there....!

    Her hair made me smile. My youngest had a head full of fuzzy black hair when he was born. When he had his hospital picture taken, they lady kept trying to smooth it down and it would bounce right back up....LOL!

    What a precious little babe--congrats to your family!
