The due date grows closer. We grow no closer to settling on a name and loving it. Aaaggh. (Yes, I am focussing on this to block out massive coronavirus anxiety, just for now)

Evangeline. Lots off shortening options thT are lovely too

CassandrasCastle · 21/03/2020 14:01

I really want to use the whole thing, call her Evangeline. And maybe Jelly and Lina..

My vote is Evangeline, it’s my dd middle name it easily could have been her first but we decided she looked more of x and Evangeline flowed nicely.

CaffiSaliMali · 21/03/2020 15:46

My order of preference:

Evangeline (love this name)
Laurel
Juniper
Adam

I love Evangeline and Evangelina. Not my usual type of name, I generally like shorter names like Lyra and Eira. However I think Evangeline is absolutely gorgeous.

I like how unusual but not strange Laurel is. I have a cousin called Laurel who is stunning, so I really like this name but couldn't use it myself.

Juniper is nice, but not something I would choose.

Ada is nice too, prefer Ava though.

My favorite is Juniper, then Ada. I don’t like Laurel or Evangeline. I knew a terrible Laurel once. And Evangeline is too frilly for me and I don’t like the ‘vange’ sound.

i love evangeline. it was on my list but my friend called her baby that so i had to cross it off. she mostly gets called her full name, but has gigi as a family nickname. i’d go evangeline, ada, juniper, and then laurel if i had to list them in order of preference.

Whatsyourflava · 21/03/2020 17:50

My favourite is Ada ❤️ Love it.
Least fav by a long way is Evangeline. Might have said before but it sounds like a medical term, a brand of toothpaste or Invisalign braces. Also find the name too frilly and long, like two random names meshed together

s3tut0y3r · 21/03/2020 18:05

Evangeline is very pretty. If you don't love it, how about Angelina?

bridgetreilly · 21/03/2020 18:14

Ada Evangeline.

CassandrasCastle · 22/03/2020 10:24

Gigi is a sweet Evangeline nickname Smile

Evangeline Ada

pickletickled · 22/03/2020 13:25

Laurel then Evangeline for me

Adelais · 22/03/2020 15:06

I like Evangeline the best. Ada is nice too but seems very trendy at the moment.

HowIrresponsible · 22/03/2020 15:07

Evangeline sounds like vagina to me.

Juniper is nice

Ihaveamind · 22/03/2020 15:15

Sorry to be no help but I like all four of them 😁
Maybe settle on two and decide when you meet her which suits?
Laurel - deep thinker, wry sense of humour, classic dresser
Juniper - witty, very able in areas of interest, strong individual style
Ada - determined, high achiever, clothing is utilitarian
Evangeline - charming, funny, retro style

Hope all goes well 💐

octoberfarm · 22/03/2020 15:17

Ada and Juniper are my favorites!

Bezalelle · 22/03/2020 16:44

Ada - fantastic name

Juniper - all I hear is "nipper"

Evangeline - makes me think of evangelical street preachers

Laurel - loo roll

MikeUniformMike · 22/03/2020 17:31

Ada - dislike. Also dislike Ava, Ida, Eva.
Evangeline - too long. Yet another Ev- name but with frills.
Juniper - a bit quirky.
Laurel - not as bad as Lauren.

If I had to choose, I'd pick Laurel.

DramaAlpaca · 22/03/2020 17:39

Evangeline - beautiful, a long name that's unfrilly
Ada - nice, short & sweet
Laurel - quite like, but it does sound dated, like Lauren
Juniper - trendy, quirky, will date. Prefer Juno or June

Eleanorrrelephant · 22/03/2020 17:40

Evangeline is fantastic

AdaColeman · 22/03/2020 17:43

Ada is fab!
No keen on the others on your list, and Juniper is my least favourite.

sunshinemachine · 22/03/2020 17:44

ada is so pretty

Lllot5 · 22/03/2020 17:54

I like Juniper which surprises me because it’s not the sort of name I like normally. Evangeline is a bit of a mouthful. My current favourite is Clementine.

fantasmasgoria1 · 22/03/2020 17:56

Evangeline. It's a lovely name. Ada however is awful

Wouldyoubemyamericanboy · 22/03/2020 19:28

Evangeline is so beautiful and a million miles better than the other names
