[Opinions] Re: Evangeline?
in reply to a message by Alita
This name has been my favorite name since I was 12 years old for a reason: I have a lot of health issues and so it's highly possible that I won't be able to have children when I get to that point in my life where I'm ready. I've known about these issues since I was 8, and that same year a doctor callously told me "you know you'll most likely never be able to have your own kids right?" As a tween I picked Evangeline for a future daughter because it means "good news" and being able to have her would be the best news I ever got. It's a name that symbolizes hope and perseverance to me and even if I adopted a female newborn she will still be named this regardless. This is the best name in my opinion though I am entirely biased. I too want to call her "Eva" for short since it means "life" and implies a thriving spirit & body. On a less sentimental note I also think it's just very beautiful, dignified and filled with possibilities. It makes me so happy you met a little girl with this name that even had the same NN I want to use :)Please rate my "Names I would use" list if you have a spare moment, feel free to rate other lists too if you want but ik there's a lot, thank you :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/223226/138473

Aw, that’s a really sweet sentiment. That doctor is kind of an ass though...

Thank you for sharing what the name Evangeline means to you. I really enjoyed reading your response. It was touching. On a side note, that doctor was an insensitive wart. There are a lot better ways to discuss and phrase potential fertility issues that are both realistic and compassionate.

Not to mention I was 8 so such talked should have been skipped altogether for at Least a few years but I digress XD But thank you for your kind response! :)
