Are these names too much?

Evangeline
Esmeralda
Rowena
Rosemary
Arabella

I love long feminine names but I'm not sure if we are brave enough to use them. The above are the favourites but are they too much? Does anyone know any, what are their nicknames?

Esmeralda is beyond god awful. Please don't do that to your tiny baby!!

Rosemary is my overbearing mum in law so that's a no from me 😂I love Roseanne though.

Rowena and Rosemary are lovely. Rowena reminds me of Rowena Cade, who built the minack theatre in her garden, on the edge of Cornish cliffs. What a woman she was. You should google her and her stunning theatre.

I've met an Arabella and an Evangelina, I like both of the names.

The only one that seems a bit much is Esmeralda. I really like Rosemary and Evangeline
