[Opinions] Evangeline
I've been watching Lost reruns and I've fallen in love with Evangeline again, even more so, Evangeline Lilly as a combo. What are your opinions on Evangeline? Do you know any Evangelines? What nickname would you use? Do you think Evangeline Lilly, is a bit 'too much' considering it's the actress name?

Evangeline is a gorgeous name, though I agree that Evangeline Lilly / Lily is too much.I would suggest:
Evangeline Faye
Evangeline Grace
Evangeline RoseI feel like Evangeline needs a short, simple middle name.

i know we already talked about this but i LOVE Evangeline!!! it's a beautifal name, when i think of it i picture an adorable little girl with long hair and a cherubic face!
i don't think i'd use a nickname though.vangeline
if were to name my daughter evangeline, her whole name would be evangeline rose.
other combos i like are:
evangeline lilly
evangeline marie
evangeline grace
evangeline gabrielle
evangeline violet
evangeline sephora
as for evangeline lily, you could add another l to make it lilly, so it's different. i feel that if it's spelt differently it's a different name.

Evangeline is very, very pretty. I think Evangeline Lilly is OK but completely unoriginal...My favorite Evangeline combo has always been Evangeline May, though it hasn't been high on my list in a long time. Without a doubt, I'd use the nn Eva. So beautiful.

I do know an Evangeline. She goes by Chach (its rhymes with botch, crotch, etc.)Never goes by Evangeline.And yes, I think Evangeline Lilly is a bit much.

Evangeline is very pretty, but too pretty to be one of my favourites, if that makes any sense. I've never met an Evangeline. I do think Evangeline Lilly is a bit much, since it's already somebody else's name. Lily and all its variants and elaborations are overdone nowadays, anyway. I'd use the nickname Evie.

Personally I think it's good but vastly overrated... I don't know any. I'd probably use Eve, Eva, or Evie, or maybe Angel or Lina. I think Evangeline Lilly is a good combo, but probably a bad idea because of the actress.

Evangeline Lilly is way too much given the actress. Please don't go there.Evangeline paired with another complementary middle name would be beautiful.

I'm warming to it. It's still an opulent name, but it has its charm.I know a baby Evangelina that's over a year old, but I don't know any Evangelines.I would use the NN Evie, or Angie, if the mood struck me.Yes, I think the combo Evangeline Lilly is too much, unless you are a BIG fan of the actress.

I think Evangeline Lilly/Lily is a little much with the Lost association, though it is a pretty name. I personally wouldn't use it, but I love Evangeline and I really like Lily.If it's not too long, you could try Evangeline Susanna, since I think Susanna/Shoshanna mean 'lily.'I know a little girl named Evangeline Grace, and her parents call her Evie.I know another woman named Evangeline-- I met her in her early twenties-- and she always went by Vangie. I much prefer Evie, though.My favorite combos:
Evangeline Carys or Charis
Evangeline Petra
Evangeline Hope
Evangeline Celeste
Evangeline Lydia
Evangeline MariaFaith EvangelineGood luck!
