[Opinions] Re: Why is Evelyn so much more popular than Evelina?
Names ending in -lyn seem to be doing well right now. Similarly, -line names are generally more common than -lina names. For example, Eve is a really common name that people can depend on. Some people pronounce the Eve part the same, so Evelyn is essentially just Eve with -lyn at the end, making it sound more modern than ehv-uh-lin. I think about Caroline vs. Carolina, Evangeline vs Evangelina, Adeline vs. Adelina, Madeline vs. Madelina, etc. I don't really know why those -line and -lyn are preferred. For me, it greatly depends on the first part of the name. Angelina and Angeline are both in the charts, as well as Adeline and Adelina... but Madeline is common whereas Madelina is rare. I don't get it. But I can say that I don't know of a notable bearer with the name, as opposed to multiple famous people who must be named Madeline.https://youtube.com/@MarioDrama632 or
