I guess it's kind of like
Gwendoline vs
Gwendolyn.
Gwendoline has some appeal to me, but
Gwendolyn is more familiar by far, so I'd feel safer going with the *lyn spelling.
Based on that, I'd pick
Evelyn over
Eveline, assuming I liked both enough to use.
Eveline seems sleeker than
Evelyn or
Evelina, though, if that appeals.
I'd prefer
Eve or maybe
Evangeline /
Yvonne for NN "Evie"...I generally prefer the 'eev' sound to the 'ehv' sound.
I vote
Iris 100%, though.
Iris Eveline is pretty, and if it's in the middle, pronunciation isn't really a concern. I prefer it to
Iris Eleanor.
