Evangeline. Love it. Such a lovely name.

Boatmistress17 · 02/09/2017 21:38

Evangeline. .

ImAProseccoHoBro · 02/09/2017 21:42

Evangeline, it's beautiful. I've loved it since I heard it in Nanny McPhee.

ClandestineAdulation · 02/09/2017 21:43

Evangeline! Esmeralda makes me think of a witch... Not sure why!

DramaAlpaca · 02/09/2017 21:44

I love Evangeline, it's beautiful.

Some people see it as a very religious name.

ImAProseccoHoBro · 02/09/2017 21:46

clandestine Makes me think of a witch too!

DramaAlpaca · 02/09/2017 21:46

Clandestine there was a witch called Esmeralda Horrid in a children's comic, years & years ago, so maybe that's why!

It wasn't my childhood nickname when I was naughty, oh no, not at all

Evangeline. Beautiful and the shortened Eva is lovely too.
Funnily enough, I think Esmeralda is a bit witchy too.

NC4now · 02/09/2017 21:47

Esmeralda was the Hunchback of Notre Dame's love interest.

treaclesoda · 02/09/2017 21:48

Evangeline. It's lovely.

ClandestineAdulation · 02/09/2017 21:57

DramaAlpaca Ah thank you! I knew there was a reason!

ImAProseccoHoBro Glad it's not just me!

Logoplanter · 02/09/2017 21:59

Agree, Evangeline is lovely. Esmeralda is not.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/09/2017 22:00

Evangeline.

purplepandas · 02/09/2017 22:00

Evangeline but I am biased!

Sophronia · 02/09/2017 22:01

Evangeline. I do like Esmeralda too though.

BelligerentGardenPixies · 02/09/2017 22:01

Love Evangeline.

Esmarelda makes me think of Granny Weatherwax.

Loyly · 02/09/2017 22:01

Evangeline

divafever99 · 02/09/2017 22:05

Evangeline and Eva for short. Still a bit sad dh wouldn't let me name dd this!

AuntieStella · 02/09/2017 22:08

Evangeline for the (probably happy clappy) Christians.

Esmeralda for everyone else.

SuperBeagle · 02/09/2017 22:33

Evangeline.

Esmeralda is so over the top.

SumAndSubstance · 02/09/2017 22:41

the (probably happy clappy) Christians
Not necessarily - I know several little Catholic Evangelines at the moment
