Do you consider Evalyn (eh-va-lin) to be a "legit" namesake for Geneva and Lynn? What about the spelling Evelyn?
How does the combo Hosanna Evalyn Corbie, nn Anna (Corbie is Scottish for Raven, my step-father-in-law is known to many as Raven)sound? Does Hosanna Eva Corbie sound better? If so, which prn. of Eva (ee-vah or eh-vah)sounds best?

Also, WDYTO the combo Jonas Allan Gilliland? (Allan being another "double" as a namsake from Alene & the Allan spelling from literature - al'Lan Mandragoran)

The spelling Evelyn is better.
Hosanna Evelyn Corbie is very pretty.

Personally I dislike the names Jonas and Allan, but they are both nice names. Gilliland I'm not sure of. If it's pronounced gilly-land I don't care for it, too wordy.

For a namesake for Geneva and Lynn, I prefer Evalyn.
Hosanna Evalyn Corbie is very nice :).
I don't like the flow of Hosanna Eva Corbie with either prn.

I love Jonas. Allan is cute.
I'm not sure how to say Gilliland?
But I tried, and Jonas Allan Gilliland is very nice :).
