It's interesting that many people see
Evangeline as more "religious" than the name
Naomi - I think it's just the opposite. Must be because I think of Uncle
Tom's Cabin
Evangeline, and therefore associate it with literature, while
Naomi, with her Bible story, seems more "religious" to me. Like I could totally imagine a sancitomoniously religious
Naomi more than an
Evangeline. Funny how the same names can strike people so differently!
