Evangeline smacks of Christianity to me, so if the child is not being raised Christian, I wouldn't use it. (It means simply "good news," but I've never heard evangel- language outside of "the good news of Jesus Christ"... maybe that's my New Testament Greek coming into play though). I am Christian, but the name is a GP for me since it's a little religiously zealous IMO and I'm wary of heavily religiously-affiliated names.

But I still like Evangline "Lina" more than Arabella "Aria".
