I love the name Evelyn, it's my grandmothers middle name.
If I have a daughter I am planning on calling her Evelyn Rose

I think Evelyn is so pretty, a really nice name. Eveline is nice too, but I still much prefer Evelyn. Evelyn Mae/May is my fave combo and we had that on our list, but one of DH's cousins used it for his DD.

Evelyn's ok. I prefer Eveline though.

---

Combos:

---

Eveline Rene
Eveline Marie
Eveline Janice
Eveline Casey
Eveline Irene
Eveline Nadine
Eveline Zlata
Eveline Griselda
Evelyn Judith
Evelyn Margaret
Evelyn Cheryl
Evelyn Astrid
Evelyn Bethany
Evelyn Jasmine

I would go for neither. I would have like Evelyn a lot more if I haven't watched 'Play Misty for Me'.

---

If I would pair names with Evelyn/Eveline, it would be:
Evelyn Marie
Evelyn Rae
Eveline Joanne
Eveline Kay

I think Evelyn is fine, but not as nice as some other Eve- names. It sounds a bit dated.

---

Eveline is also nice but I prefer Evelina (ev-ah-LEE-nuh). I think that's beautiful!

I love Evelyn and prefer it over Eveline, though the latter is nice too. I would intuitively pronounce Eveline with a "-leen" sound at the end and I've never heard it pronounced with "-line"; I'll have to let that one simmer and see if it takes.

---

Not sure whether you're wanting Evelyn combos...

---

Evelyn Adele
Evelyn Audra
Evelyn Kate
Evelyn Moira
Evelyn Primrose
Evelyn Sophie

Would you say Ev-eh-leen, Ev-eh-line, EVE-ah-leen, EVE-ah-line? I think I like Eveline better (it's on my family tree pretty far back there...), but it does open its self up to more interpretation.

I love Evelyn, and whilst Eveline is nice I prefer Evelina (with an ee-nuh ending). Suggestion:
Evelyn Sylvia
Evelyn Sylvie
Evelyn Pixie
Evelyn Tansy
Evelyn Maeve
Evelyn Winter
Evelyn Fae/Faye
Evelyn Beatrix/Beatrice

---

Eveline Snow
Eveline Jessa
Eveline Jessamine
Eveline Georgiana (George-ee-ah-nuh)
Eveline Rhea (Ray-uh)
Eveline Henrietta

I technically like them both, but prefer Evelyn by a landslide.

---

As far as my tastes go, I would likely go with something like Evelyn Raine or Evelyn Willow, since I love pairing those antique-type names with nature names.

---

However, Evelyn is pretty versatile and combos like those below would work well too:
Evelyn Pearl
Evelyn Victoria
Evelyn Hannah
Evelyn Tracy
Evelyn Delphine
Evelyn Aubrey
etc..

---

As for Eveline - it is pretty. I like the look of this version better, but not the sound.
Eveline Carol
Eveline Jane
Eveline Daisy
Eveline Shirley
Eveline Therese

I adore Evelyn!

---

I think it's incredibly versatile and pairs well with a variety of middle names. So here's some of my fav:

---

Evelyn Ruth
Evelyn Margot
Evelyn Josephine
Evelyn Aubrey
Evelyn Paige
Evelyn Camille
Evelyn Marceline
Evelyn Amelia

I prefer the tidier look of Evelyn, but I've never heard Eveline said with a -line sound. My mother attended the Eveline High School, which was named after some prominent person during their lifetime; it was pronounced EEVlin at all times. I have heard Eveline sounding like EVaLEEN, but I dislike -een names and I'm glad it doesn't happen very often.

---

Either way, I've never known the full form actually used. It always shortens to Eve. Which is pleasant.

---

It's quite a 1920s name, I think. Wendy, Jennifer, Roger, Clive.
