Can’t decide whether I find it too frilly or very beautiful.

It's a lovely name, but, to me, it's too closely linked with "evangelical", so I would never consider it.

It's a gorgeous name.

Evangeline sounds like an itchy fanny cream (sort of like a cross between Vagisil/Germolene). Sorry, that sounds really horrible of me, I know. It's just what it reminded me of. I suspect I am just a freak and no-one else would think this though Blush

My Daughters middle name absolutely stunning in my opinion and not too frilly at all.

DH just suggested nn Effie for it, his reasoning is that if it can work for Elizabeth it can work for Evangeline but I just don’t think that would ever naturally form. What do you think?

Nn Effie would sway me as I love it

LOVE Evangeline, such a beautiful name!

SecretWitch · 15/10/2018 19:42

Lovely name.

deptfordgirl · 15/10/2018 19:46

It's nice. I do prefer Emmeline as it does just sound like Evangelical to me. Not that that's a problem!

Cbeebiesrehab · 15/10/2018 19:49

My daughter is Evelyn and has been known as Effie since birth...could definitely work for Evangeline too!

KarrisWhiteOak · 15/10/2018 19:51

I love it. It was a name I had on short list then sil said she loved it when I was pregnant and i decided as I’d never mentioned I loved it before it would be rude to use it.
But I love the DD has.

Viviviolet · 15/10/2018 20:12

I think we’re going for it... watching nanny McPhee with dd and re hearing Colin Firth say it has cemented my love for it!!

Liking Evangeline Ivy, maybe Violet (is it a problem that it’s my middle name Confused?)

Love Evangeline, but honestly don't think Ivy or Violet work particularly well as middle names. - Violet is the better of the two, though, in terms of how the two names hang together.

Viviviolet · 16/10/2018 15:31

Any suggestions jitters finding it very hard to find something. Don’t want any Grace, Rose or Mays
