Angelica Joy or Evangeline Joy?

Or Angelica Faith or Evangeline Faith?

Or Angelica Hope or Evangeline Hope?

What's your favourite of each, and what's your overall number one?

(We are practicing Christians so although some of the names might have religious connotations, we like this, although I know it might put some people off.)

Angelina Joy is my favourite of the lot.

Joy is lovely, great meaning
Hope is lovely, great meaning
Faith is nice, nice meaning
Evangeline, really don't like the meaning for a person
Evangeline Faith - I really would not use it.

FWIW, I agree with the PP mentioning the excessively overt connotations. While all the names suggested by OP have similar connotations, the combination of Evangeline and Faith seems way over the top. And yes, I'd worry the child would have no options if Christianity does not rock her boat in adulthood. (But then I do tend to think very far ahead!)

Have you considered that your child won't always be a child, and may not share your faith? In that context, the names you're considering might be a bit of a millstone. I think it's a bit weird and crass to name your child something so obviously agenda-carrying, personally.

I don't think it's a controversial thing to give your child a name that reflects their cultural or religious background... It's normal for people who follow a certain religion to give their children names that reflect the faith background they were brought up in and this has been common practice among Muslims, Hindus, Jews and Christians for centuries. When faith is the most important aspect of your family life, it would seem even more odd to give your child a secular name, imo. I think most parents are fully aware that their children could abandon the faith at any time, but that doesn't mean they don't raise them as secular by default.

I like Evangeline Joy :)

Angelica Hope.
