What do you think for the name Evangelia for a baby girl?

Ee-van-jelly-ya
its quite the mouthful.

Do you mean "Evangelica"? I think it is lovely. It is not a "Christian only" name.
There is an Evangeline in "Nanny McPhee" movie.
The nickname is usually Angel - not Evie.

Angelica?

I can't figure out how to pronounce it. Where to put the stress! I have a friend who is Evangeline and she hates it and Evie for short.

I love Evangeline and Evangelina but Evangelia sounds a bit… medical? To me.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 26/12/2022 19:58

It sounds a little like a syndrome.

Evangeline is much nicer.

BuffaloCauliflower · 26/12/2022 19:52

I’ve never heard of it, but Evangeline is nice.

Fleur405 · 26/12/2022 19:51

I’m afraid I don’t like it - it’s very vowelly. Much prefer Evangeline.

I don't like it at all, and she'll be yet another Evie or Eva.

Both are very pretty

I prefer Evangeline but both are pretty :)

I do always think though what would their nickname at school be and see if I like the sound of that too. Cause we as parents might call our kids by their full name but guarenteed the kids at school won't 😅

This. It’s a bit of a mouthful for an ‘everyday’ name and she would likely be called Eve/Evie or similar. Do you like that as a nickname?

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 26/12/2022 19:39

It's not a name that is in common use
Evangeline or Evangelina are both ok. Evangelia is not good.

Cryingbutstilltrying · 26/12/2022 19:37

It would be misspelled and said as Evangelina I think.
I have an Evangeline, she’s Evie day to day. Eva would also work.
It is a bit of a mouthful, not sure why we did it but I wanted a longer birth certificate name.

What do you mean? No we are not.

Is the British version of the name Evangelia ,Evangeline, used only by Evangelican families?

Are you an Evangelical family? If not then no.
