Evangeline?

[deemented]

It's suddenly grabbed me and i think i quite like it!

Or is it poncey and pretentious?

Beautiful name. Love it. I don't find it poncy or pretentious at all.

Love it. It was on our shortlist.

I love it, I worked with a lady who was named that, but it is similar to my name so we couldn't use it for dd. ALthough she is named Eve.

nice, but depends how you feel about being one of several "eve/evie/evas" in her peer group.

It's absolutely beautiful but unfortunately shortens to the ever popular Evie. If you don't mind that then it's the perfect name.

Lovely. It is dd's middle name. We were going to use it as a fn with the nn Genie, but in the end decided the risk of Eve/Evie was to high (I really dislike Eve/Evie) so went with it as a mn. Beautiful meaning too.

I've known one Evangeline, it's a lovely name and isn't that common so several won't coming running when you shout it across the playground.

Love it. Van for short.

Love it

(particularly since I watched Nanny Mcphee earlier)

Love it! House of Elliot!

Love it

Love it - House of Elliott & Evangeline Lilly from Lost are the only ones I can think of

I really love it and was tempted but loads of my friends hate Evangeline Lily (the actress from Lost) for totally unknown reasons, but I doubt their reaction is a common reaction!

It's a lovely name, but far too Christian fundamentalist for me.

Very very Christian. If that's ok with you, then it's very beautiful.

dd3s middle name is Evangeline, first name Pearl. We get lots of lovely comments from her name, no one mentions the Christian link (it is nothing that would cross our minds. I've loved the name since I was a teenager, twas a song sung by Matthew Sweet. Seriously, noone has mentioned the Christian linik, I wouldn't worry about it...

Love it

Love it. My friend has just had one, I think it must be up and coming.

love it. went to school with one who went by Vonnie.

Beautiful. Applause. But i am biased as i also like nanny mcphee.
The mum i shared a room with called her dd this and i was a bit
Call her ange/angie/angel as nn if you don't like evie

I like it too.

I prefer Eva to Eve

imip my 6 year old is called Pearl Evangeline too!

I love it!
