With Evelyn now a Top 10 name, spelling variations are sure to rise too. Some parents may prefer the lynn ending because it clarifies pronunciation, distinguishing the name from Eveline, which rhymes with wine.

In fact, varying the ending of girls' names from -line to -lyn or -lynn has become standard practice in the US to differentiate Caroline from Carolyn, Adeline from Adelyn. Of course, many people pronounce both names as if they ended in -lynn anyway, but with the -lynn ending, there usually isn't any confusion.
