Evangelina

Thinking ahead, I've only recently found out I'm expecting but I have a strong feeling it's another girl. Feeling a strong connection to the name Evangelina. I know my family will hate it so I'm keeping it under wraps... DH isn't completely sold on it but is considering it. We will probably use Evie as a nickname when she is little.
Any thoughts please

To me Faith has religious overtones. OK if you are religious, of course! When I hear that nameI always wonder what was going on in her parents lives when they had her.
An alternative would be Hope, with the same reservations as above.
However I do like Susannah

MamaGothel · 18/09/2019 12:02

We are practicing Christians, a religious name isn't a must-have but it is a bit of a plus point for me. It was one of the reasons I liked Evangelina Smile

Susannah Faith or Susannah Hope are both great combinations.

MamaGothel · 18/09/2019 12:15

Thanks Fizzy I'm feeling quite positive about it. As long as the pregnancy goes well, and it's a girl Grin I'll be completely stuck if it's a boy

Evangeline is nicer. I don't like Evie much.

HamiltonBentley · 18/09/2019 14:41

Susannah Hope is a beautiful name Smile

Astronica · 18/09/2019 16:26

Susannah is really lovely and much better than Evangelina in my opinion. Faith is okay, but prefer it for a middle name.

Rachelover60 · 18/09/2019 16:35

I like Evangeline. She can be called, "Evie" for short. Pretty name!

Hi,

Just a thought to having two daughters with the same initials such as Miss E (surname) could get confusing when get letters regarding them etc.

I would try and find other names..

Emily & Alice
Emily & Annabelle
Emily & Betsy
Emily & Charlotte
Emily & Delilah
Emily & Florrie
Emily & Georgia
Emily & Heidi
Emily & Izolda
Emily & Jemima
Emily & Kaitlin
Emily & Lois
Emily & Madeleine
Emily & Nellie
Emily & Olivia
Emily & Poppy
Emily & Rosie
Emily & Sophia
Emily & Thea
Emily & Violet

It’s the name of a children’s hospital.

Paintedmaypole · 18/09/2019 22:13

Evangelina has as many religious connotations as Faith and Hope. Not necessarily an issue but it is linked to Evangelist

TigerDroveAgain · 18/09/2019 22:16

Evangeline all the way: so you can play this to her - top song. m.youtube.com/watch?v=npSDM26xlzs

Dontbeasheep · 18/09/2019 22:19

No. Just no. Don't lumber your child with a religious name. If you are that confident in your faith then give her a name that doesn't have such strong religious overtones and let her make her own mind up about being indoctrinated into your religion.

Isn’t that Evelina?

BeanBag7 · 18/09/2019 22:45

You couldn't have Emily and Everleigh.
I think Susannah is pretty.

MamaGothel · 19/09/2019 07:01

Beanbag7 I suppose not! I only just realised how similar they are. Everleigh was on the table at one point instead of Emily so it was in my head Grin

Susannah joy sounds lovely. You can shorten to sukie or susie which fits with the length of your other daughters names

VenusClapTrap · 19/09/2019 08:43

Susannah is much better.

AverageMummy · 19/09/2019 08:46

Susannah is beautiful- one of my favourite names

OddBoots · 19/09/2019 08:46

If you can find a name you like that doesn't start with the same letter as her sister's name it might save future headaches around opening each other's post.

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/09/2019 16:25

I love Faith

Faith Evangelina would be beautiful

Poetryinaction · 25/09/2019 20:27

Evangelina is very religious. Susannah is beautiful and much nicer.

MrsMozartMkII · 25/09/2019 20:29

I like Evangalina.
