Man's name that's 49-Across plus a letter

Answer:

EVAN

Hint:

Think of a short, classic boy's name that starts with "Eve" and adds just one more common consonant at the end.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the idea of taking the answer to 49-Across (which is "EVA") and adding one more letter to it. By tacking an "N" onto the end, you get "EVAN," a common man's name. The trick is recognizing that "plus a letter" means simply appending a single letter to the existing word.
