Like it but am aware that it might be a bit "too much".

What do you think?

I like it and would try and encourage Evan as a nn :) total opposite end of the girly spectrum than Evangeline!

It's beautiful.

I think it's beautiful but agree with PP re Evie. Might make a lovely middle name?

It's a beautiful name.

It's a very Christian name. Is that your reason for considering it?

Good point about there being many,mant Evie's.

Doubt I'll use it. Doubting the name is usually a sign!

Bit long and frilly for me.

I quite liked it in the 90's, when one of the characters in The House of Elliot was called Evangeline, nn Evie. But there are so many Evies etc. out there now that I wouldn't use it personally.

Absolutely love Evangeline - such a pretty name (always makes me sing the song from Disney's Princess and the Frog!).

It's very pretty, although I've never encountered one outside the pages of a P.G. Wodehouse novel.

At four syllables it's likely to get shortened a lot so be prepared for Angie, which isn't quite so pretty IMHO.
