Evangeline
Esmeralda
Rowena
Rosemary
Arabella

I love long feminine names but I'm not sure if we are brave enough to use them. The above are the favourites but are they too much? Does anyone know any, what are their nicknames?

I think the only one that’s a bit much is Esmeralda though it would probably get shortened to Esme.

Evangeline has the danger of getting shortened to Evie.

Rowena is my favourite and is on my list for DD2 though DH has currently vetoed it.

I think Esmeralda is too much and I don't like Rowena. The others are fine.

Yeah they are too much OP, please don’t make your child suffer!

I like all of them, especially Evangeline.

The only one I think is possibly a bit much is Esmeralda.

Evangeline was on our list for DD but went for something else instead
I like arabella too, but have met a few in recent years - nicknamed Bella
