Evangeline.
definitely Josephine!
Josephine is classier, and I happen to love the name. I do like Evangeline, but I can't help hearing evangelical,and then related images come to mind. I would also live in fear of her being called Vange as a nn. Having said that, I do like the sound of Evangeline.

Evangeline but I like both.
Evangeline...for some reason I've never liked Josephine
But I adore just Josie. However I don't like Josephine at all. Go figure.
Evangeline is gorgeous- I love the meaning, and the nn Evie.

I like both, but...
Josephine has staying power. At the moment Evangeline is enjoying a burst in popularity (Evangeline Lilly perhaps?), which, if it continues, could make it sound slightly dated down the line. Josephine gets my vote. (Though I'd still use Evangeline as a mn.)

Love both, but Evangeline wins
Josephine
Josephine is wonderful and elegant. It has the lovely nicknames of Josie, Posy, Effie, Joey, Jojo, and Fifi.
Evangeline has a very grating sound to me.
My favorite -ine name is Clementine.

Though I wouldn't use either one, I prefer the sound of Evangeline. It's too close to the word "evangelist" for my liking, but I still think that it's a pretty name.
Josephine
I don't really like it but I HATE Evangeline (what is WITH that name lately) so Josephine wins by a mile.
How a name that makes you think of shove-it-down-your-throat religion appeals to anyone is beyond me.

Ditto.
Tritto.
I think both are pretty names, but Josephine gets my vote. It seems more classic and timeless, while for me, at times, Evangeline seems a bit over the top.
Josephine by a longshot . nt .
