Re: Eveline
in reply to a message by Wisteria
I guess it's kind of like Gwendoline vs Gwendolyn. Gwendoline has some appeal to me, but Gwendolyn is more familiar by far, so I'd feel safer going with the *lyn spelling.
Based on that, I'd pick Evelyn over Eveline, assuming I liked both enough to use. Eveline seems sleeker than Evelyn or Evelina, though, if that appeals.
I'd prefer Eve or maybe Evangeline / Yvonne for NN "Evie"...I generally prefer the 'eev' sound to the 'ehv' sound.
I vote Iris 100%, though. Iris Eveline is pretty, and if it's in the middle, pronunciation isn't really a concern. I prefer it to Iris Eleanor.
