Brother or sister for Evangeline

CassandrasCastle · 23/12/2020 12:19

I have a DD called Evangeline, and feel it's quite a tricky name to 'go with' other stuff. (We call her the full name atm, which I love, but it may get shortened to Eva, or Van when she's older. As if I'm in control of this 🙈 I can but try...)

For boys I like:
Nicholas (Nico)
Reuben
Calvin

Girls:
Juniper
Orla
Callista

Help! 🙏

First names that came into my head, Evangeline and Elliot, Evangeline and Clementine.

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 23/12/2020 12:27

Genevieve
Annaliese (not sure of spelling)
Alexander/Alexandra

Emelene · 23/12/2020 12:28

I know and Evangeline and Clara which is very pretty.

CassandrasCastle · 23/12/2020 12:34

Clementine is fab - DP not keen🙄
Oh, I also really like Max! (Maxwell..?)

Evangeline is such a beautiful name

I know an Evangeline who has siblings Barnaby, Octavia and Amelie if that helps

Sibling names than come to mind...

Gregory
Rupert
Hugo
Fredeeick
Dominic
Otis
Peter
William
Tobias

Talitha
Jocelyn
Gwenith
Sophia
Athena
Frederica
Raphaela
Laurel
Natalia
Rebecca
Petra
Zara
Ophelia
Ottilie

From your list

Nicholas (Nico) - love Nicholas and Nico

Reuben - it's nice, quite popular though especially compared to Evangeline

Calvin - not a fan

Juniper - just makes me think of gin

Orla - love it but spelt Orlaith. Orla easily autocorrects to Oral and seems very short next to Evangeline

Callista - I like it. Callie is cute

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/12/2020 12:35

I love Sacha for a boy

CassandrasCastle · 23/12/2020 12:39

Is Sacha correct spelling?
Thanks @17caterpillars1mouse that's a beautiful list. Barnaby is fab, also like Bram. Otis great too

Laurel is an old favourite of mine... Also Octavia rather than Ophelia.

I think it should be another long name rather than a shorter name.
Elliott or Émeline

Diddlysquatty · 23/12/2020 12:42

Can’t believe no one’s suggested Beatrice!
(House of Elliot anyone...?)

CassandrasCastle · 23/12/2020 12:51

I thought 2 long names might be a bit much...maybe 2 or 3 syllables.

Haha, yes Beatrice! Alas a very close friend has one

I like Nicholas. Rueben is nice but I wouldn't put it with Evangeline. Calvin is dreadful.

I love Nicholas (Nico) and Calista with Evangeline. I'd go with Katharina or Cassia (rather than Catherine or Cassie) - more unusual, but still classical feeling matches Evangeline better. Octavia (Tavi) is also gorgeous, as is Bram (although it's a bit short with Evangeline, maybe use Abraham, Abram or Bertram nn Bram?)

Other suggestions to work with Evangeline - Maximilian (Max/Maxim) , Alexander (Xan/Xander), Xavier (Zev) or Lucian (Luc). And Helena (Nell/Leni), Serena (Ren), Marina (Marnie/Mina), Antonia (Anya/Nina) or Aurelia (Rae).

These are beautiful! Saving this thread.
Interestingly, my own name has come up, as well as my dad's and sister's 🙊

@CassandrasCastle

I know a group of three siblings (now adults) called Maxwell, Edward and Evangeline, known as Max, Ted and Evie. So think Max goes really well.
