Baby girl - Evangelia?

[Beigecurtain]

What do you think for the name Evangelia for a baby girl?

Are you an Evangelical family? If not then no.

What do you mean? No we are not.

Is the British version of the name Evangelia ,Evangeline, used only by Evangelican families?

I prefer Evangeline but both are pretty :)

I do always think though what would their nickname at school be and see if I like the sound of that too. Cause we as parents might call our kids by their full name but guarenteed the kids at school won't 😅

It would be misspelled and said as Evangelina I think.
I have an Evangeline, she’s Evie day to day. Eva would also work.
It is a bit of a mouthful, not sure why we did it but I wanted a longer birth certificate name.

It's not a name that is in common use
Evangeline or Evangelina are both ok. Evangelia is not good.

This. It’s a bit of a mouthful for an ‘everyday’ name and she would likely be called Eve/Evie or similar. Do you like that as a nickname?

I don't like it at all, and she'll be yet another Evie or Eva.

Both are very pretty

I’m afraid I don’t like it - it’s very vowelly. Much prefer Evangeline.

I’ve never heard of it, but Evangeline is nice.

It sounds a little like a syndrome.

Evangeline is much nicer.

I love Evangeline and Evangelina but Evangelia sounds a bit… medical? To me.

I can't figure out how to pronounce it. Where to put the stress! I have a friend who is Evangeline and she hates it and Evie for short.

Angelica?

Do you mean "Evangelica"? I think it is lovely. It is not a "Christian only" name.
There is an Evangeline in "Nanny McPhee" movie.
The nickname is usually Angel - not Evie.

Ee-van-jelly-ya
its quite the mouthful.

I find it a bit unwieldy. Didn’t Bruce Forsyth’s wife have a name along those lines? Clunky.

N I don't like it. Any name that is going to.cause a child to have to correct pronunciation is a pain for them.and those who get it wrong.

I think it’s too long . Polly is nice , or Elsie , something shorter .

I work with an Evangeline and everyone calls her Ange :)

It sounds a religious name. I have a Filipino friend with that name.

I’ve never heard of it. Evangeline is better. But I would assume you were very religious. It’s not exactly mainstream.

I once worked with a doctor who was an Evangelia, she hated her name and went by Lia.

I couldn't work out how to pronounce it but that's something that can be learned just be conscious of putting that burden on a child and start thinking about what nickname you will want to encourage. My children have long bc names and a shortened form for every day use that I encourage. It's not a name I'm keen on (although I like angelica and evangeline) but again I wouldn't let that put you off.

It's literally the Latin word for gospels.

Sounds weird to me. Not a proper recognizable name like Evangeline. And I would hate the religious undertone too.
