Evelina or Georgiana

Im just curious what everyone’s thoughts are on these names. I love both of them, but I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to use them, also feel I I will regret it if I choose something like Charlotte (a pretty name, but not quite as ‘special’ to me)
My husband particularly likes Evelina and wants Violet as the middle name.
DS is Alexander and we don’t shorten his name (although I suspect when he goes to school that will happen). We do like the nicknames for both the girls names - Evie/Lina and Georgie/Gigi.
I’m stuck! Any other suggestions welcome - I love Jane Austen/Georgette Heyer type names. Thanks.

Evelina would make me think of the children’s hospital. Georgiana is okay.

Evelina, really pretty and Evie is a lovely nn. Georgiana is a syllable too far for me. Love Georgia and nn Georgie though.

I prefer evelyn but thats because i have an evelyn and funny enough i have a george too.

Ever leaner? I really wouldn't.

Georgiana is ok but I prefer Georgia or Georgina.

How is Evelina pronounced? I’ve never heard it before. I like Georgiana.

Georgiana is beautiful.

I love Evelina, I think it's so pretty and underused. It sounds nice with her brother's name too I think. Smile

Not massively keen on either tbh.
What about Evangeline?

Justmuddlingalong · 25/02/2018 15:35

Sorry but they both look like too many vowels for the sake of it.

Evelina pronounced Ever-leaner?
