Evangeline or Josephine?

[Bellyrub1980]

We have a single syllable sirname which suits 3 syllable first names.

These are 2 front runners for me.

But I'm totally stumped on boys names.

If I like these for a girl, can you recommend any I might like for a boy?

(We already have a DD Madeleine)

First name that came to mind was Sebastian

Josephine is the prettier of the 2, but with Madeleine I'd use Evangeline.
Recommendations for boys names

Christian
Lucian
Gabriel
Xavier
Christopher

Love Josephine.

Nathaniel
Oliver
Theodore
Zachary
Elliot

I much prefer Josephine, in fact I really don't like Evangeline at all.

I have a one syllable surname, dd and me have three syllable names, ds and dh have two. I think both work.

Longer boys names - Timothy, William, Benedict, Jonathon, Nicolas?

They are more likely to be using the abbreviated forms at school etc and Evie is far cuter than Jo.

I like Evangeline best.

Joseph for boy, Josephine for girl.

I prefer Evangeline but if you have a Madeline already I think Evangeline is too similar.

Evangeline. I don't like Josephine much.

Funny that people think Josephine is pretty. To me it's a 'damn, I wish we'd had a son' name. Like the Lawson sisters, Nigella, Thomasina, and Horatia. They definitely wanted a Nigel, Thomas and Horatio.

Josephine. Works better with Madeleine.

Both are lovely. Josie is also short for Josephine- I like names that give you the choice of at least one or two abbreviations.

To me it's a 'damn, I wish we'd had a son' name

Absolute nonsense.

Key words being 'to me', in other words IN MY OPINION

HTH.

So yes, TO ME it's a 'damn, I wish we'd had a son' name

Posy is another diminutive for Josephine.

Both are pretty, but I prefer Evangeline.

For boys:

Gabriel
Theodore
Zachary

Josephine.

But hate "Posy". Fortunately, I doubt people would think to call her that. Josie seems the most obvious nickname.

Evangeline is much prettier.
