What do you think of Eveline? Do you like it better or worse than similar names like Evelina and Evelyn? I really adore the nickname Evie so I'm thinking it is a strong contender for me to take to the delivery room along with Eleanor and Iris.

I am pronounce it like EV-uh-leen.

I love Evelina to pieces, but Eveline and Evelyn are absolutely beautiful too, really adorable! The only problem I would see with Eveline is that its pronunciation isn't obvious, I much prefer EV-uh-leen or pronouncing it like Evelyn than Eva-line, the later spoils the name very much imo. Eleanor is beautiful too, but I slightly prefer Eveline and its variants.

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.

I like it. It's a more feminine form of Evelyn for me, and slightly more wearable than Evelina. Would you pronounce it the French way like eh-va-leen? or Eva-line? I prefer the former.

I like all three options, but Iris is my favourite.

I think Eveline is confusing (pronunciation-wise). I prefer Evelyn or Evelina.
Other "Evie" names:

Evanthe
Evelia
Evanor / Evanora
Everild
Evren

I think Evelyn is better, easier for pronounciation and spelling too. or Eva, Evangeline or Evalina. I prefer Evelyn to Eleanor and I dont like Iris

I think Eveline, pronounced the way you say it, is very pretty, but I prefer both Evelina (eh-veh-LEE-nə) and Evelyn (EEV-lin).

I like Eve; Evie for when she's younger. Evelina is too long and too fussy, and the fact that you had to state your preferred pronunciation of Eveline should be a warning.

I'd go for Evelyn, which is timeless, or perhaps Eva which is a family name though I don't enjoy it much. Or, GP#1, Lyneve.
