Evelyn vs. Evelyn

Have any of you ever chosen a name that didn’t flow perfectly, because the name was special to you or you really liked the name? I love the name Evelyn and it has personal meaning, but I’m worried about how it might sound/look to others, given both Evelyn and our last name end with the ’n’ sound. I’ve tried to think of other ways to spell it or maybe even if it was Evelyn-’something’ + middle name + last name. But then it isn’t quite Evelyn anymore (if spelled differently). I’d love to hear from any of you who can relate or if anyone has any helpful advice or ideas to share.

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
