Love it.
Reminds me of Nanny McPhee but that's OK!!

Disfordarkchocolate · 17/07/2018 18:38

I love it too. I would worry that everyone would shorten it but it's lovely as it is.

FawnDrench · 17/07/2018 19:08

I like it too, but agree it has potential for far too many different shortenings- fine if you're not that bothered about developing nicknames later on.

The Evangeline I know is an Evie. Named due to the popularity of Lost- Evangeline Lilley

I like it but I’d worry that it would be shortened to Evie and so a lovely name becomes a bland, boring, overused nn.

Apresshampooing · 18/07/2018 08:23

I hate it, sorry. I think it's so ugly and clunky. Eva is so much nicer.

Plus, it's 4 syllables, so no kid will use the full name through school. It will inevitably become Evie - this is the case for all three Evangelines I've met. In which case you might as well just call her Eve/Eva.

It also makes me think of the word evangelical, which isn't a positive connotation.

It's too long and will end up being Evie.
Evie is nice but Eva isn't.

Absolutely beautiful

lemonnmeringuepie · 18/07/2018 08:42

Lovely name!

DramaAlpaca · 18/07/2018 08:42

I love it.

bridgetreilly · 18/07/2018 08:46

Yes, lovely.

bridgetreilly · 18/07/2018 08:47

Oh, also, I like Evie, but it's not the only choice for a nickname. She could be Angel, Angie, Lina...

MorrisDancingViv · 18/07/2018 12:26

I'm not keen on it, but if it helps I know an adult Evangeline who is always known as Evangeline. She never shortens it and neither do any of her friends.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 18/07/2018 12:41

I love it, I like the song Evangeline too.

ZebraKid71 · 18/07/2018 13:42

It's lovely, the one I know goes by Genie.

KERALA1 · 20/07/2018 22:05

Would worry it would get shortened to the deadly dull 6 in a class eve/Evie/Eva tedium

Elambert1983 · 30/07/2018 08:47

It's my favourite and my husband doesn't like it but he doesn't have good taste. Cute child / sophisticated adult.

Lovely, and shows the strength (and type) of the familiy's Christianity.
