[Opinions] Re: Evangeline?
in reply to a message by Alita
Evangeline is pretty. I like the nicknames Eve, Eva and Lina. The meaning "good news" is nice; it sounds like the parents were thrilled when they heard they were having her. Longfellow's poem by the same name is a pleasant association since it makes me think of ancient forests and legends.
The only drawback is that -line could be pronounced -leen or -ˈlīn.
