DP and I have decided that we would like to name our daughter either Christina or Evelyn! Which one do you like the most?

Christina Evelyn sounds beautiful

Evelyn seems really popular at the moment, although obviously that’s not necessarily a problem!
Personally I would go for Christina.

Christina. I'm tired of the Evelyn hype.

Both beautiful names, I couldn’t chose between them either.

Christina, sounds nicer and there are loads of Evelyns around.

Christina, so pretty and unusual.

Evelyn seems a rather harsh sound to me.

Thank you! Although we plan not to use any nicknames...

Would that still be an issue?

And we will pronounce it as Ev-eh-lin
