Evangaline Jane.

17caterpillars1mouse · 10/05/2017 15:23

I like Evangeline from yours

But Violetta and Constance from his (love Constance)

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 15:25

I'm trying to like Constance and I just can't - I really do feel that I should

I'm sorry aside from Evangeline. I don't like any of your names. What the fresh hell is Lillas.
I only Jane out of your DPS names.
Constance is very very harsh. I like Connie, though.
Compromising names.
Eva-Jane
Lily-Jane
Violet-Jane

Jane Evangeline?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/05/2017 15:33

Ooh touchy.

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 15:34

Jane is quite nice as a middle name

I'm.sure you didn't mean to be so rude

HeyCat · 10/05/2017 15:37

Juniper is the best.

Evangeline is likely to shorten to Evie and there are loads of evies.

Lilias is fine, poster above was being rude, but it's not my face.

I like Juniper Jane, sounds like a marvel character and has a good rhythm to it.

I don't like Violeta or Constance at all tbh.

twinjocks · 10/05/2017 15:37

I quite like Juniper Jane, as long as your surname doesn't also start with J!!

EatsShitAndLeaves · 10/05/2017 15:37

I can only think of juniper berries and Ginnow!

So I'd avoid that.

I like Evangeline and Constance - but not together.

Either of the above with Jane as a middle name.

BadToTheBone · 10/05/2017 15:37

Your dhs list is much nicer than yours. Constance is the best.

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 15:38

I'm.sure you didn't mean to be so rude

Oh dear. I think I did

Jane's lovely and really unusual.

Love Constance- only didn't use it because I don't like Connie in a Yorkshire accent......

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 15:40

Juniper Jane does have a nice ring! Last name begins with B Grin

I like Jane, Juniper, Evangeline and Violetta (not helpful, sorry)!

Think my favourites are Juniper and Violetta.

NerrSnerr · 10/05/2017 15:41

The only name I like in both lists is Jane.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 10/05/2017 15:41

I like Juniper Jane.

BertrandRussell · 10/05/2017 15:43

Evangeline is a bit of a mouthful. Juniper is a bit bonkers. Violetta is needlessly operatic. Lilias sounds like a maid in a Scottish period drama.

Rockaby · 10/05/2017 15:43

DH's cousin is called Lillas and some people like to take the piss by calling her Lillets Hmm.

I prefer Lilac or Lily fwiw, but nothing wrong with Lillas.

Leviticus · 10/05/2017 15:43

Jane is lovely! I don't think I've ever met a child Jane.

From your list Evangeline is quite nice but would end up as Evie I imagine, which is lovely but quite popular.

Go for Jane.

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 15:43

The only name I like in both lists is Jane. Nooooo Shock

We're here as adults to give our opinions. Which I assume is what you want. Whether they're negative or positive. You can't throw your rattle out your pram anytime someone says they don't like a name.
You mightn't like my name choices, but I can take it. I'm a big girl and This is not a pony club.
I have no intentions of turning this into a bun fight.

I wish you well and congratulations.

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 15:44

Lilias sounds like a maid in a Scottish period drama. Love it!
