(Message me if you visit Berkeley again? Evelyn is my favorite name and I've never met an Evelyn. ...Sorry if that's an offensive reason to want to meet someone.)

That's an excellent reason to meet someone. I want to meet an Elspeth myself. I wonder how one could go about systematically meeting people with a given name.

As well as this.

Way too much positive affect behind a single name. :P

I know an Elspeth, if you're ever in Ottawa we can hang.

I went to high school with one.

Turns out the person still exists -- with the same name (albeit now with an additional last name).

Well, one place to start would be grepping your local phone book and newspaper.

I will do that.

It's a name which was uncommon when I was named, and is coming back into fashion: http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager#prefix=evelyn&ms=false&exact=false
