Re: BA—Evangelyn Rosemarie
I'm not a fan of it. Changing the ending makes it look very trendy. I much prefer Evangeline or Evangelina. Rosemarie is not my thing. I prefer Rosamund. Its not a terrible name. I definitely would prefer the combo over something else they could have possibly come up with, its just not my style.
Prosper is cool, but for me totally not usable and more of a mn slot sort of name. Leonard is so not me. I see it as a total nerd with hypochondriac tendencies. The Big Bang Theory character made it a little better, but not much.
I like Judah, though I highly prefer Jude. It just sounds so much more succinct. Koji reminds me of Kojo and Goji berries. Not my thing. Ember Rose is really trendy. I don't like. Filler middle name.
Monroe Easter is 100x worse. Monroe just makes me think of Marilyn and I prefer not to have the association of a sex symbol that was abused and died of an overdose with my daughter.

The thought process behind Evangelyn is maybe too close to my heart for me to dislike or criticize but I totally see where you're coming from! Also with Rosemarie and Leonard, I guess it's more about the people they're honoring with the name. (Rosamund is great, though! Definitely my favorite of the Ros- names, with Rosemary a respectable second.) I don't personally love Leonard but I respect people's choices for middle names. Within reason. ;)Ember Rose and Monroe, completely agreed!
