I prefer Evangeline, which is lighter and more graceful than the heavy, clunky Theodora. I also love Theodore for a boy, so Theodora is automatically shunted down my girls list.

Evangeline Mary is beautiful, albeit religious.

Theodora Sophia is very nice, although it can sound a bit matronly. I prefer Thea for a younger name, but THEE-uh rhymes with Sophia. Perhaps the German pronunciation for both names: Thea Sophia (TEH-a zo-FEE-a).

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
