Basically everyone does have a photographic memory. They just cannot recall it into their consciousness. It has also been shown that under hypnosis a person can recall with remarkable accuracy information of the kind I am describing, which never entered conscious thought. So my point is that you very well could have encountered this name before, and either never gave it a second thought or forgot about it, or your subconscious just happened to retain it from someplace, even if it was never something you consciously acknowledged.
I think this is FAR more likely than any other explanation, especially the supernatural.

Original poster - How sure are you about the spelling of the name? Could it be Evelyn? Could the last name be a different name, like Klug?

A sound theory but highly improbable in my case.
It would have been quite applicable if the name I've dreamt of was something a lot more common like "Ingrid Goodman". There's quite a good chance of me seeing or hearing such name consciously or subconsciously but not "Aivlyn Klung"
"Aivlyn" Is a real person's name but extremely rare. Even a variation of the spelling "Aivlin" is also a real person's name but just as rare. Make it "Aivlyn Klung" and the chances that I've heard or seen the name consciously or subconsciously are extremely close to zero.
Would have been a lot easier had I dreamt of a name that was a lot more common doesn't it? You theory would fit and I go relieved with an answer.

100% sure. I heard the name in a dream from a speaker with an American accent. It's quite a distinct pronunciation difference between Aivlyn and Evelyn and between Klung and Klug or sometimes Kung.
You assumption is not entirely wrong however. I did search for "Evelyn Klung" when "Aivlyn Klung" turned out with zero results in google!edit on 16-11-2013 by ahnggk because: (no reason given)

I'm so pleased to see that you are standing your ground as far as the name and the spelling are concerned ... the way you were told it and the way you see/feel it spelt in your minds-eye are the correct way ... never be tempted away from that or allow doubt to creep in.

Well, the "person" that gave you the spelling of the name may have been illiterate, or a young child with limited spelling ability. They may have meant Evelyn, for example, instead of Aivlyn.
The name, Evelyn Klug, for example shows up several times in Google, including recent obituaries. My point is that you may have the correct spelling as given to you, but the person or spirit that gave you the name may not given the spelling to you correctly. I think you need to look at all angles, including close derivations of the name you were given.
They might have been trying to say, Evelyn King.

When I first read the op I thought Evelyn King but it may be a common name because I have an ancestor with that name. Very interesting thread hope to hear the outcome. Keep following your dreams.
