[Opinions] Re: Evangeline
in reply to a message by caitlin
It doesn't strike me as an especially religious name. I don't think it's that pretty though, despite being so frilly ... I'd prefer just Evan for a girl. I actually kind of like the Latinate Evangelina, though it's very long.
Whether overly religious names "turn other people off" depends very much on the circles you move in. I'd steer clear of overly religious names though, just as I'd avoid political ones, because a child will grow up to have her own ideas and these might not correspond with her name. But like I said, Evangeline doesn't really strike me as religious so it's not something to worry about :-)
Good luck!
