I love it!

hw2004 · 21/08/2008 19:12

don't like it at all. There seems to be quite a few Evangelines around and i'm just not keen at all. Bit try hard for me (IMO)

Flightlite · 21/08/2008 18:12

I think I would like it but I have read 'Nurse Matilda Goes To Town' too many times!!

Christianna Brand btw if you want to look it up!

Minniethemoocher · 21/08/2008 18:09

I think that it is lovely, and you can always shorten it.

Spare a thought for her in Reception when everyone else is finishing their work and she is still writing her name...

southeastastra · 21/08/2008 17:26

it's a song by the icicle works

loobylu3 · 21/08/2008 17:25

I like it too

friendly · 20/08/2008 17:40

ooh thanks mrswoolf. I knew it was another favourite of mine.

scorpio1 · 20/08/2008 13:06

Lucky, lucky Evangeline Lily

schneebly · 20/08/2008 00:03

I think it is nice but everyone will think it is after that woman from 'Lost' - she is very pretty though but I don't like her because she gets to snog Sawyer

objectivity · 20/08/2008 00:02

Love it too

LynetteScavo · 20/08/2008 00:01

I like it. I also like it shortend to Eva.

MintChocAddict · 19/08/2008 23:59

Do you watch Lost squanderer? Evangeline Lily - Canadian actress. Very beautiful.

friendly · 19/08/2008 23:39

I think it's lovely too. I remember House of eliott.... What was the name of Stella Gonet's character?

How about Angeline? That's lovely (no guessing what my name is!). It's a proper name and not common here. LOL!

minouminou · 19/08/2008 22:10

lovin' it lovin' it lovin' it
was keen on it for #2 if it's a girl, but i absolutely loathe the shortening evie
soz to all evies out there....but it's a visceral thing

bluebellwood · 19/08/2008 22:07

DD(6) thinks it's lovely. I like it too. (It's the name of a character in "Nanny McPhee" which is our favourite film at the moment).

castille · 18/08/2008 14:05

oops

who's

castille · 18/08/2008 14:04
