Evelyn/Eveline
Replies
I love Evelyn and prefer it over Eveline, though the latter is nice too. I would intuitively pronounce Eveline with a "-leen" sound at the end and I've never heard it pronounced with "-line"; I'll have to let that one simmer and see if it takes.
Not sure whether you're wanting Evelyn combos...

Would you say Ev-eh-leen, Ev-eh-line, EVE-ah-leen, EVE-ah-line? I think I like Eveline better (it's on my family tree pretty far back there...), but it does open its self up to more interpretation.
I love Evelyn, and whilst Eveline is nice I prefer Evelina (with an ee-nuh ending). Suggestion:
Evelyn Sylvia
Evelyn Sylvie
Evelyn Pixie
Evelyn Tansy
Evelyn Maeve
Evelyn Winter
Evelyn Fae/Faye
Evelyn Beatrix/Beatrice
Eveline Snow
Eveline Jessa
Eveline Jessamine
Eveline Georgiana (George-ee-ah-nuh)
Eveline Rhea (Ray-uh)
Eveline Henrietta

I technically like them both, but prefer Evelyn by a landslide.
As far as my tastes go, I would likely go with something like Evelyn Raine or Evelyn Willow, since I love pairing those antique-type names with nature names.
However, Evelyn is pretty versatile and combos like those below would work well too:
Evelyn Pearl
Evelyn Victoria
Evelyn Hannah
Evelyn Tracy
Evelyn Delphine
Evelyn Aubrey
etc..
As for Eveline - it is pretty. I like the look of this version better, but not the sound.
Eveline Carol
Eveline Jane
Eveline Daisy
Eveline Shirley
Eveline Therese

I prefer the tidier look of Evelyn, but I've never heard Eveline said with a -line sound. My mother attended the Eveline High School, which was named after some prominent person during their lifetime; it was pronounced EEVlin at all times. I have heard Eveline sounding like EVaLEEN, but I dislike -een names and I'm glad it doesn't happen very often.
Either way, I've never known the full form actually used. It always shortens to Eve. Which is pleasant.
It's quite a 1920s name, I think. Wendy, Jennifer, Roger, Clive.
