This name has been my favorite name since I was 12 years old for a reason: I have a lot of health issues and so it's highly possible that I won't be able to have children when I get to that point in my life where I'm ready. I've known about these issues since I was 8, and that same year a doctor callously told me "you know you'll most likely never be able to have your own kids right?" As a tween I picked Evangeline for a future daughter because it means "good news" and being able to have her would be the best news I ever got. It's a name that symbolizes hope and perseverance to me and even if I adopted a female newborn she will still be named this regardless. This is the best name in my opinion though I am entirely biased. I too want to call her "Eva" for short since it means "life" and implies a thriving spirit & body. On a less sentimental note I also think it's just very beautiful, dignified and filled with possibilities. It makes me so happy you met a little girl with this name that even had the same NN I want to use :)
