eliyesOkay, so I have this AU where Lorne's a woman and Cadman's a man. Cadman's name is easy enough to parse: Laura = Laurence. Larry. (Ronon is a woman, but since, according the character in the show, Ronon works as a name for a boy or a girl, I'm not changing it. *laziness vindicated!*)
I am waffling about Lorne's first name. Canonical male Lorne is named Evan. Now, there's a variety of female names I can get by extrapolating off that (I've even seen some people claim Evan is a perfectly fine name for a girl.) I've been defaulting to Evangelica (sometimes Evangeline) with Eva as a pet form. The thing is, Evan has been in the top 100 names for boys in the US for a few decades and has been in the top 600 since 1900, whereas neither of those girls' names are nearly so common as that. Hence the waffling. Evelyn has been even more common than Evan, and Eva has stayed in the top 400. I've also seen Evania listed as a feminized form of Evan.
And thus, a poll:
[Poll #1252624]
Addendum the first!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
madripoor_rose has suggested Yvonne. If you would like to vote for that, post agreement under her comment, I guess. (If there's a way to edit a poll after it's posted, I haven't found it yet.)
Addendum the second! If there's a particular reason why you pick a name, feel free to tell me what it is. :3
