I would try for consistency with the sibling names.
Neither Hunter nor Evelyn are unusual or uncommon AFAIK. Arcadia is really good spelt like this but I'm not rapt in it with Davey. Acacia? Evelyn Pearl Davey? This post has been edited by Gudrun: 29/11/2012, 07:43 PM |

I knew someone with the same surname and they had an Ella and Will.
I like Arcadia but spelt this way. I like Evelyn, Sienna, Brooke, Caitlyn, Aria. |
