Theodora or Evangeline?
Which do you prefer: Theodora or Evangeline? I like Evangeline Mary, then Theodora Sophia.

Theodora. Evangeline sounds too angelic and fussy.

Evangeline. I love the meaning and the nns Evie or Eva are super cute.

Evangeline. I think it has nicer nickname options and I like that it has “angel” in it. It also has a nicer flow, Theodora is kinda clunky in my opinion.I prefer Sophia over Mary though.

I'm biased as I have a 6 year old Theodora lol. I still absolutely adore her name, no regrets. Evangeline seems like a name that I should like... but I don't!

I think I prefer Theodora. I love the nn Thea. Evangeline sounds nice, but it seems a bit religious to me and I think I would personally rather be a Theodora than an Evangeline.

Evangeline tenfold. Not only is it my favorite girl name, but Theodora also doesn't appeal to me it feels too old and clunky. I prefer Theodosia.

I prefer Theodora but Evangeline Mary is the better combo.

I prefer Evangeline, which is lighter and more graceful than the heavy, clunky Theodora. I also love Theodore for a boy, so Theodora is automatically shunted down my girls list.Evangeline Mary is beautiful, albeit religious.Theodora Sophia is very nice, although it can sound a bit matronly. I prefer Thea for a younger name, but THEE-uh rhymes with Sophia. Perhaps the German pronunciation for both names: Thea Sophia (TEH-a zo-FEE-a).

Evangeline. It's smoother.

I love both, but I'll say Evangeline for today.

I'll take Evangeline, simply because Eva is a family name and I also prefer its rhythm. Neither is to my taste: long and clunky and overly religious.

Evangeline is a great name. It is dreamy, innocent, but with a determined and missionary-like meaning.

Evangeline. Evangeline Mary is pretty (as well as very religious).
