Evangeline Margot Lambert

[Elambert1983]

Me and my husband have wildly different name preferences. I love Evangeline, he loves Margaret 🤢 so wondering whether Evangeline Margot sounds OK? As a baby / young child I will probably shorten her name to Eva, Evie or Evan (which I think is cute and edgy) but I love Evangeline as a beautiful adult name as its sophisticated.

Yes, it sounds ok.

I personally prefer Margot Evangeline or Margaret Evangeline - but your way also sounds absolutely fine.

I prefer Margaret to Evangeline but but it's not my baby! Margot is gorgeous.

Yes, it's lovely.

Fabulous name!

I'm with your husband here.

Evangeline sounds a bit OTT and a bit of a mouthful, especially for a little girl, but if you call her Evie she'll be one of ten little Evies in her class. I can't honestly see Evan sticking as a nickname for a little girl.

Margaret is a fab name, and has so many great nickname options.

I'd go for Margaret Evangeline, with Margot, Maggie, Meg, Peggy or something as a nickname.

I really don't like Margaret hence the compromise to Margot. Every person we have discussed Margaret with has hated it too and said that Margaret is hideous.

My other contenders so far are Monica, Eden, Maya, Marcie but they don't seem to go with Margot or Maggie as a middle name that we'll.

You will be told on here Evie is really popular she will be one of 10 Evie’s in her class. I have a 6yr old Evie (Evelyn) we are yet to meet another and she is only Evie in her school.

Honestly, about half the people I know who have had a daughter in the last five years have called her Evie/Eva/Evelyn. That's not an exaggeration.

I do prefer Eva or Evan to Evie I suppose. I could possibly shorten it to Angel but unsure on that. I like the full name Evangeline best obviously.

Margaret is a no go for me and I think Maggie / mags sounds like a dogs name too much. I think I can live with Margot as a middle name. I feel like me and hubby will just never agree ha ha!

Alternatively any other suggestions that are good first names that go with........... Margot Lambert

I really like it.

Not a huge fan of evangeline, but I do like Evie. Evan is nice, but I would normally associate it with a boys name.

Eden is really nice and I think that would work with Margot lambert.

Evangeline Margot lambert just doesn't seem to 'go'. It sounds like a bit of a mouth full.

Emmeline?

Thank you all. I need to think about it more. Emmeline is bizarre cos I was named Emma after the hot chocolate song called Emmeline apparently

Josephine Margot?
(Poppy Peggy!)

Evangeline Margot flows really well.

I think Margot Evangeline sounds better.

But Margaret is a gorgeous name. If my ds had been a girl, he would have been Margaret shortened to Meg.

Are you very religious? Evangeline is like evangelical.

Not religious in the slightest, I just liked the name

I think it’s a nice name, would work well on an adult too.

I love Evangeline!
She could be Lina if you didn’t want to go down the Evie route.

Evangeline is lovely!

Margot sounds really harsh though.

Evangeline I always hear vagina.

Like Margot though. (I agree with you about Margaret) I’d go with Margot Eva.

I have a relative who is Evangeline Margaret. She's always been Evie ever since she was little. Margaret is fine as a middle name as that is all it will ever be, so in the spirit of compromise if you get your way with Evangeline then I'd agree to Margaret for the middle name. It's never used.
