Pronunciation of Eveline

[BristolLFR]

I like the name that's pronounced eve-a-leen

How would you spell it?

I like the spelling Eveline but would personally pronounce that as Ever-line

Evelyn

Buttercup, would you say vas-eh-line or vas-eh-leen? I've never heard vaseline pronounced vas-eh-line personally. Maybe they do in America?

This was my granny's name and she pronounced it EV-a-leen.

(Vaseline is vass-a-leen in America).

Eveline is ev-a-leen. She was a character in James Joyce's The Dubliners .

I've never of a variant that would give you eve-a-leen. I think that's too many ee sounds, personally.

Oops. That was supposed to be The Dubliners .

Ever Lynne

I think it's one of those names that you just can't indicate pronounciation by spelling. My grandmother was Evelyn-pronounced with a long first E. the percussionist is Evelyn, with a short E.
