Evelyn :D

I know three baby Evangelines so please ignore anyone saying to choose that because the others are popular. In five years Evangeline will be equivalent to Amelia I think.

SovietKitsch · 17/06/2016 21:07

Evangeline - the others are all so popular at the moment. And you can always go for Lina as your diminutive rather than the all-pervasive Evie

Dontrocktheboat · 17/06/2016 22:54

Definitely Evangeline - the rest are way too overused.

chocoLit · 18/06/2016 22:09

Isabella vote here too - ours is the only one in the school so laugh at everyone saying it's overused/popular. It depends on where you live tbh. DD has 3 Caitlyns and 3 Lewis in her year for example.................

Not so keen on Amelia - prefer Amelie.
Evelyn is lovely
Evangeline a tad too try hard for me some how although love the nn Evan for a girl.

Does popularity bother you? If you want to be different, pick Evangelina.

If you want to be timelessly classic, pick Issbella.

If you want to be of the moment right now, pick Amelia.

If you aren't bothered by people mid pronouncing the name, pick Evelyn.

Amelia and Issbella are lovely but really popular.
I really like Evangeline. It doesn't scream religious to me and I am! Lots of potential shortenings too.

Beedoo123 · 18/06/2016 22:19

Another vote for Evangeline... You could call her Angel too! Like the others but they are quite popular...

luckiestgirl · 18/06/2016 22:21

Love Evangeline

TheImprobableGirl · 18/06/2016 22:23

I have an Isabella (called Bella/ Bells/ Belle) and she is the only one in KS1 (she's primary aged 5)

Personally I think it's beautiful. She's an Isabella Rose, it suits her down to the ground and a lovely name.

It might not be of interest but there is a baby on CBeebies called Evangeline atm, pretty little thing but might be getting more popular!

Amelia I do think is a smidge overused at the moment. And, like alexia, the medical connotations put me off.

I don't love Evelyn sorry

EweAreHere · 18/06/2016 22:29

I know a lot of girls called Amelia and Isabella, and they're quite widely used, so don't recommend them personally.

Evangeline is lovely, but very French and religious, so only if that suits?

Love Evelyn, and I've never heard it mispronounced myself. Just don't aim to shorten it to Evie, as that is also hugely popular.
