Help[Opinions] Nicknames!
Well it's been narrowed down to Eden or Evangeline for baby girl. We decided to poll family because we were having that much trouble deciding (we didn't want to tell anyone til the birth) and Eden seems to be winning out but everyone did say they were both good choices. Now the only issue I have is nicknames. I love Eden, but really Edie seems to be the only logical nickname for it, and I'm not crazy about that. Evangeline has so many options! We would probably use Eve, Evie (ee-vee and/or eh-vee), and Evita (me, hey, I'm spanish lol) My sister-in- law also likes Lina (meh) Anyway, seeing as we are a family that inevitably uses nicknames, this is an important issue! Do you know of any other NNs for Eden? What is your natural NN for Evangeline?

Eden is short enough that it doesn't need a nickname, but if you'd like her to have one, how about E or Den?
I like Eva and Evie the best as nicknames for Evangeline.

DeeDee is a bit of a stretch but could work for Eden. So maybe could Dena. The names are both nice, but Eden feels much fresher and spunkier. I'm getting a bit bored with Evangelne. Evie or Line are the obvious nns for Evangeline.
To be honest, I think it's a bit silly not to use the name you prefer because of a nickname issue, but then I don't get why people make such a big deal about nns, maybe for cultural reasons.

well the problem is I don't prefer either name, I like them both equally for different reasons...I'm trying to find a definite reason to chose one or the other

I know you've probably thought of this but I have to throw out there that I would think myself lucky to be stuck between 2-3 names before the baby got there, so I could see which "fit."

I prefer Evangeline and I would use Eva as a nn

I like Evangeline just for the nickname factor (doesn't hurt that my husbands name is Evan). I'd call her Eva or Evan.

Evangeline is my choice for sure, it does have more options as well as being very pretty in full. My natural nickname for Evangeline is Eva, like "little Eva" from Uncle Tom's Cabin.
