Which name is prettier?

[AriettaRose]

Evangeline or Josephine? and why?

Thank you!

Prettier is a strange word choice. Are you asking which we personally prefer? I would say Evangeline. Reason - I loved Nanny McPhee!

Look how she lights up the sky
Ma belle Evangeline
So far above me yet I
Know her heart belongs to only me

Je t'adore, je t'aime, Evangeline
You're my queen of the night
So still, so bright

That someone as beautiful as she
Could love someone like me
Love always finds a way, it's true
And I love you, Evangeline

Love is beautiful
Love is wonderful
Love is everything, do you agree?
Mais oui!

Look how she lights up the sky
I love you, Evangeline

Evangeline

Yes.....

I don't know about prettiest, but i like Josephine better

Evangeline is beautiful but quite the mouthful. I had a friend in London with a Greek father who was called Evangelista, of course she was always known as Lista. So you have to have just as beautiful a nickname to give her or the name will be butchered.

Josephine and Josie are both pretty in my opinion.

What about Raphaela?

Is prettiness your ultimate goal for a baby name?

I see nothing wrong with wanting a pretty time. My name is very pretty.

In regards to your question, I think Josephine is prettier. Also, I have a very long romantic name as well, and you can teach people to call you by your full name and not shorten it.

Good luck!

The thing is it can be outside your control as once your dd goes off to school her friends may give her a nn or she may prefer it. So good idea to have a non you are happy with just in case.

I also have a longer name that I don’t shorten so it is possible!

Well I think of Evangeline as a strong name. And pretty, but definitely strong. So if overall prettiness is the goal, that might not be the name.
Fifi Trixibelle is pretty but not strong IYSWIM.

Keep your chin up, Op. I don't know why you're getting a hard time oj here. Sisterhood solidarity and all that.

If you want to name your daughter something pretty and feminine then that's your choice and I respect it.

Good luck!

Surely it's all down to personal taste. I think Evangeline is a really ugly name.Josephine is nicer but everyone will just call her Jo.

Evangeline is my preference out of the two.

Fwiw pretty names imo are - Isabella, Florence, Alice, Cecily, Charlotte, Jemima, Iris, Leonora, Sophia, Lucy, Rose to name a few.

Evangeline isn't pretty to my ears. Quite the opposite. Josephine is ok but I love the nn Posy.

I like Josephine best, and I love it's nicknames, Jo, Joey, Posy.

Josephine. It was one of my dm favourite names. I feel the burden if a 'pretty' name. What if your dd turns out not to be 'pretty'when she grows up? I'm fat, knackered and angry. I'm conscious how incongruous my name is.

I prefer Josephine (and agree it has nicer nicknames)

Evangeline is a very Christian name, and if that is the reason you like it so much, then it is probably the better choice for you.

Josephine is prettier - but then Evangeline is awful

Evangeline! Strong and pretty. Why is everyone flaming op for wanting a pretty name? She’s not saying her daughter has to grow up pretty, she wants to give her daughter a nice, pretty name

Evangeline.Josephine sounds a bit harsh on the ear

I don’t like Evangeline and think it is quite ugly. It also reminds me of Vaseline.

Evangeline is nice but i love Josephine.
Any possibility she'd be given the nn 'vange' at school though?!

Josephine.😜

Much prefer Josephine! And muhh prefer josie to any of the evangeline nns.

I don't think either name is 'pretty'.
Evangeline will get called Vange by some which would put me off.
Josephine is my favourite due to Josie and Posy as nicknames but the name itself is a solid one, quite old fashioned. I wouldn't say it's pretty.
