Evelyn or Christina?

[Tangi88]

DP and I have decided that we would like to name our daughter either Christina or Evelyn! Which one do you like the most?

Even if you don't use a nickname, everyone else will! Especially once she's a teenager

@Tangi88 op I’m sorry but both names are very likely to be shortened into nicknames. You can try your hardest to stop this and may have some success. It’ll be hard though. I have a friend Vicky who had a lifetime of trying to get people to call her victoria (hasn’t worked). Good luck. Oh and I prefer Evelyn

Christina !

Evelyn for sure. I agree with a PP that Christina is very dated. It’s a bit 80s!

My granny and my great aunt are Evelyn's and they've never been shortened.
I love the name!

Both lovely but Christina is more unusual. Or you could go for Evelina with Lina as nickname, since Eve/Ava/Eva/Evie have become so popular.

Evelyn 100%!

Ooo, I love how you pronounce Evelyn! I've only ever heard Eve-lyn
If you go for Evelyn she'll almost defintely have it shortened to Eve/Evie.
Christina is beautiful less commen and less likely to be shortened

I know an Evelyn shortened to Ev, which I like.

God not another Eve. One to avoid. Every other girl has this name it gets terribly confusing. Be aware it’s this generation’s Sarah

Christina is beautiful and interesting!

Evelyn is overused and a little dull, even if not shortened to the ubiquitous Eve or Evie.

My teenage dd has a 3 syllable name that never really gets shortened.

Evelyn
