Evangeline or Alexa?

Hi, am new on here but thought I’d give starting a thread a go as I’ve been loving reading the baby name ones Smile Me and DH both love Evangeline and Alexa but are having problems choosing between them. Whilst I love how beautiful Evangeline is I’m worried it’s a bit long and frilly whereas Alexa (nn Lexie) gives the impression (at least to me) of someone strong. Middle name would be Violet, although this isn’t set in stone, and would love to hear what you guys think

@aprilshowersinaugust I understand your reasoning behind Alexa but would you say Evangeline is too fussy?

Haha I’m aware but I haven’t seen people go mad for the things and I just think it’s a shame to allow a name to die out because of Amazon Blush but I guess she may get some stick for it

Alexa is the name on Amazon’s Echo and Dot devices, I would give that a miss!
