I prefer this name to Evangeline only because I find it frustrating how the ‘line’ ending can be pronounced three different ways. The A at the end solves that problem :)

Wonderful name! My fav girls name! If I had a daughter, I would definitely name her Evangelina, with the nickname Eva.

This is currently my favorite girls name! So long, beautiful, elegant, refined girls name; who would dislike it? If you're worried that your child can't spell it, there are TONS of nicknames to choose from! (e.g. Eva, Evie, Eve, Angelina, etc.) I SOO wish that my name was Evangelina! I would consider naming my daughter this.

Actually, I changed my mind LOL very quickly! I actually prefer Evangeline, as it has less syllables and sounds less cutesy/girly. But, I still love both names, it's just that Evangeline is a little better.

Wait, I changed my mind again! I actually like both names equally the same haha! I'd maybe prefer Evangelina a teeny bit more because it sounds sweeter on a little toddler.

The provided English pronunciation is incorrect. While Evangeline is pronounced i-VAN-jə-leen (or ee-VAN-jə-leen), adding an -a at the end changes the rhythm. Keeping the emphasis on VAN here is just awkward. Evangelina's pronunciation in English would coincide more with the pronunciation of Angelina than Evangeline: i-van-jə-LEE-nə. [noted -ed]

Evangelina is a wonderful name! Highly recommend. (◕﹏◕✿)

Evangeline is such a gorgeous name, but this seems like a roller coaster to me. Also, I don’t like Angelina (but I love Angelica) and I’m not a fan of girl names that end with A in general. (I dislike how girls are always out in feminization)

The name Evangelina is also quite common in the Portuguese-speaking world (especially in Brazil). A known bearer was the pioneering Portuguese doctor Maria Evangelina da Silva Pinto (1887-1973):

Also do a search for Evangelina on Facebook, you will find a lot of bearers there. It might take a lot of scrolling to find the Brazilian and Portuguese ones among those from the Spanish-speaking world, though. Perhaps it's more efficient to do a search for Evangelina together with the most common surnames in Brazil and Portugal - you should typically be able to see multiple Evangelinas with the same surname (e.g. there are 50+ Evangelina Oliveiras on Facebook):

This is what I want to name my first daughter, it's so delicate and pretty but strong at the same time.

It's a pretty name, but like Angelina, it sounds a bit cutesy and girly to me, whereas Evangeline has a mature sound to it.

I think this name is really beautiful. Along with its variant "Evangeline". If I ever have a daughter I probably would call her either one of these two names.
