Sister for Evangeline? HELP

56 replies

CatLoaf · 21/12/2022 18:28

I am stuck 😬 I just feel like all my name inspiration has tried up, and the one name I was really getting keen on (Edith), DH gave a hard no.

Any help for sort of traditional (not even sure if I mean traditional tbh) but not boring girls names??

Ha! My middle name. Clearly my parents have definable taste 😂
Morgana is my sister’s middle name.

@Lilibobo that's so weird! It was the first name that popped into my head like it seems obvious to me that they go together!

Bananadramallamas · 21/12/2022 18:45

Anastasia. Just popped into my head 😊

I second Genevieve

Fivebeanchilli · 21/12/2022 19:10

Evangeline and....

Dorothea
Amelie
Beatrice
Florence
Constance
Josephine
Miranda
Felicity
Georgiana
Henrietta

I actually don't like Genevieve with it as the only nn that works well for both is Evie imo.

My dd is an Evangeline. If she had a sister, she would be Genevieve or Alexandra.
i think you need a long name, but that said, Diana)as suggested upthread) is rather beautiful and very under used.

mishmased · 21/12/2022 19:17

Evangeline and Seraphina? I love both names and they are both heavenly.

CatLoaf · 21/12/2022 19:29

I wouldn't mind going for a 2 syllable actually... I don't think that would be mean!
I looove Seraphina, but again DH is unsure.
From suggestions I quite like:
Felicity
Diana (but just don't think I could)
Beatrix
Vivienne (but not great connotations for me)
Ariadne is pretty great

Thanks everyone! Still feeling a bit stumped :/ I've never been that keen on Genevieve alas, but maybe I'll come round 😁

Yeah, I'd hate Gen to be the shortening of Genevieve. I dont agree about Evie being the only shortening for Evangeline though! We actually call her the full thing, as does everyone else apart from her Granny, but I like Van as a nickname for when she's a bit older

Love Felicity, I also love Belinda. Have fun choosing and many congrats OP.

CatLoaf · 21/12/2022 19:32

Granny called her Eveley (always like a foghorn, EEEEEVELEEY!, does my nut in 🙈)

Thank you!

Don't even get me started on boy's names btw - aaaaargh

I absolutely adore Evangeline, I couldn't use Seraphina as South African DH links it to an old anti apartheid movie Sarafina so vetoed the name based on that. The only downside (to be finicky) is that they are both angelic themed names.

Dinah instead of Diana?

Some other suggestions:
