I'm sorry aside from Evangeline. I don't like any of your names. What the fresh hell is Lillas.
I only Jane out of your DPS names.
Constance is very very harsh. I like Connie, though.
Compromising names.
Eva-Jane
Lily-Jane
Violet-Jane

Jane is quite nice as a middle name

I'm.sure you didn't mean to be so rude

Juniper is the best.

Evangeline is likely to shorten to Evie and there are loads of evies.

Lilias is fine, poster above was being rude, but it's not my face.

I like Juniper Jane, sounds like a marvel character and has a good rhythm to it.

I don't like Violeta or Constance at all tbh.

I quite like Juniper Jane, as long as your surname doesn't also start with J!!

I can only think of juniper berries and Ginnow!

So I'd avoid that.

I like Evangeline and Constance - but not together.

Either of the above with Jane as a middle name.

Your dhs list is much nicer than yours. Constance is the best.

Jane's lovely and really unusual.

Love Constance- only didn't use it because I don't like Connie in a Yorkshire accent......

Juniper Jane does have a nice ring! Last name begins with B Grin

I like Jane, Juniper, Evangeline and Violetta (not helpful, sorry)!

Think my favourites are Juniper and Violetta.

The only name I like in both lists is Jane.

I like Juniper Jane.

Evangeline is a bit of a mouthful. Juniper is a bit bonkers. Violetta is needlessly operatic. Lilias sounds like a maid in a Scottish period drama.

DH's cousin is called Lillas and some people like to take the piss by calling her Lillets Hmm.

I prefer Lilac or Lily fwiw, but nothing wrong with Lillas.

Jane is lovely! I don't think I've ever met a child Jane.

From your list Evangeline is quite nice but would end up as Evie I imagine, which is lovely but quite popular.

Go for Jane.

We're here as adults to give our opinions. Which I assume is what you want. Whether they're negative or positive. You can't throw your rattle out your pram anytime someone says they don't like a name.
You mightn't like my name choices, but I can take it. I'm a big girl and This is not a pony club.
I have no intentions of turning this into a bun fight.
I wish you well and congratulations.
