Ok - please let me have it :D I think we have finally agreed our girls name!

I want to call her the full name, and will persevere with this when introducing her, then at nursery, school etc. Fully aware she'll get nicknames though, and I KNOW Evie is absolutely everywhere. (Tbh I rather like it, but so so common.) I like Van, Eve, Lina and Jelly Grin

I would like middle name to be Kitty, but other suggestions welcome please!!

Thanks so much everyone

Haha @ the previous suggestion that Vange/Vag probably not a good nickname

Vag Kitty 🙈 🐱

Evangeline is beautiful.

Evangeline Kitty doesn't work though, since Kitty is a shortening of Catherine.

How about Evangeline Catherine?

Or, Catherine Evangeline, Kitty for short!

Evangeline is stunning

flowerstar19 · 07/02/2020 23:07

Evangeline is a beautiful name ❤️ How about Evangeline Rose - know it'a common as a middle name but sounds right to me Xxx

TrippingOnSunshine · 07/02/2020 23:11

Love Evangeline it's my dd3 middle name!!
What about
Evangeline Joan or Jean

TurquoiseDress · 08/02/2020 14:09

I really love Evangeline!

Beautiful name

CassandrasCastle · 08/02/2020 15:13

Evangeline Lola

It's a gorgeous name, OP.

CassandrasCastle · 08/02/2020 15:16

@Whatsyourflava Sorry, i didn't mean to have a go at you. I do think comimg on to thread and just saying 'nah, hate it' is a bit pointless - I think your breakdown of how horrible Evangeline was probably just touched a nerve/felt a bit mean. But yes, of course honest opinions are good!

CassandrasCastle · 08/02/2020 15:17

I am actually considering Calista, eek..
Lola is very cute!

Calista is lovely . But too much with evangeline. Use one or the other with a shorter middle name.

IMO of course .

Whatsyourflava · 08/02/2020 15:34

Very sorry but I’m definitely in the minority here ❤️ Sorry for annoying you last night @CassandrasCastle xx

ZoeandChandon · 08/02/2020 15:39

Love Evangeline, it’s soft, pretty and romantic. I loved Nanny McPhee and the storyline with Evangeline. I really dislike Calista, It’s a much harder sounding name to me. Makes me think of leg calliper.

thisisthetime · 08/02/2020 15:51

Don't like Evangeline but love Calista!

MsTSwift · 08/02/2020 15:53

I would fear she would be yet another Eve /Eva. Round here equivalent of calling your child Sarah in the 70s. Every other girl is called either an Eve name or an Isabel related name. Both nice but so bored of now

LangClegsOpinionIsNoted · 08/02/2020 16:02

I love the NN jelly, btw!

EstebanTheMagnificent · 08/02/2020 17:16

Love Calista. Evangeline is so pretty but has been ruined for me by the Princess and the Frog.

bridgetreilly · 08/02/2020 17:30

Evangeline Kitty is lovely, OP. Good choice.

purplepandas · 08/02/2020 17:35

I would go for a short middle name. As a mum if an 8 yr old Evangeline ( whose name is never shortened), a long middle name would be too much. I love the name but am biased! Like May etc.

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 08/02/2020 17:40

My god daughter is Evangeline Luna called Eva (pronounced like Evan without the n).

Bezalelle · 08/02/2020 18:32

There's an actor called Evangeline Lilly.

Evangeline Pearl is lovely, not keen on Kitty

Overthinker1988 · 09/02/2020 12:29

I'm not a fan of either tbh, Evangeline makes me think of Evangelical Christians or some kind of intimate infection medicine (it has all the letters of vagina). Kitty is something I'd call my cat. Sorry, I don't mean to be mean and most people seem to like the names so obviously my brain just makes weird associations. You did ask though.

ritalove · 09/02/2020 12:37

Evangeline is beautiful. Crisp and feminine.

CassandrasCastle · 09/02/2020 21:33

Hmm, Evangeline Pearl is nice... Evangeline Juliana is too much, right?
