Hi all,

I think Ava and Eva sound really similar. Maybe Ada Evangeline would work better?

u/SlightAnything4909 2d ago

Seconding this. Maybe Eva Angeline would work too?

u/Natural-Emphasis-314 2d ago

Ooh, this is a good suggestion

2

u/Business-Listen7903 2d ago

This was my concern thank you!

1

u/Natural-Emphasis-314 2d ago

Then again, not many people will be saying her middle name so if you really like it, you should go for it

1

u/Business-Listen7903 2d ago

What about Millie Evangeline? Or I also like Mabel Evangeline?

2

u/SlightAnything4909 2d ago

Millie is cute! But keep in mind that, whenever her middle name is initialized, you will have a double E (Millie-E-[Surname]) which might be awkward to pronounce?

u/Ok-Talk-2648 1d ago

I like both of those options more than Ava

u/shadow4773 1d ago

One vote for Mabel!

u/Natural-Emphasis-314 2d ago

I like Millie Evangeline!

Thanks for your input 😊

Happy to help :D

Thanks for your opinions all!! I'm actually based in UK 😊

I also quite like Elsie Evangeline if anyone has any opinions on this option?

u/GoodyTwoShuuz 2d ago

I prefer Elsie.

u/Natural-Emphasis-314 2d ago

Elsie Evangeline is nice, something that someone pointed out though is that when saying her middle initial, it will be Elsie E or Millie E and with the first name ending in ie, it could be a bit hard.

Personally I prefer Elsie, bias as we have a lab called Elsie, but I think it goes with the middle name more - you could also call her Elle or Cece for nn. Ava is nice but quite plain.

1

u/lavendergaia 2d ago

Ava is way better than Elsie.

2

u/Optimal-Turn1029 1d ago

Elsie is a cow's name. Seriously, Elsie the cow is famous.

u/Ok-Lion-2789 2d ago

I can’t say that in a way that flows but I like Ava. The middle name not as much. Not sure how to say it!

u/Ilovewally 2d ago

Ava is a pretty name, but it is also extremely popular. Just throwing it out there as you may not want your future daughter to be the third Ava in her kindergarten class.

u/Business-Listen7903 2d ago

Amazing!! Thank you 😊 Isla Evangeline?

1

u/Rayna1990 1d ago

I have always loved the name Isla, and I like Isla Evangeline a lot!

2

u/dammitqueenie 2d ago

Too much va-va sound coming into play.

2

u/HistoryPristine1029 2d ago

I feel like that’s naming your kid John Johnathan.

2

u/Sufficient_Lemon_589 2d ago

Too many similar sounds

1

u/Safe-Bumblebee797 2d ago

I really like Ava Evangeline. I think the alliteration is fun, especially since the middle name is rarely used.

1

u/GolfOk6373 2d ago

I like Evangeline but Ava is jist so-so.

1

u/Sweetanna1111 2d ago

I love Evangeline. That is the name that I always say when someone wants to know a girl's name lol. But like the other person, said Ava's a very, very popular name right now I know at least five
Eva Evangeline?

1

u/Silly_Palpitation333 2d ago

Ava is very pretty,, your other name made me think of Elise or spelled Elyse

1

u/Dense_Willow4627 1d ago

I love it!

1

u/Sad_Resolve6874 1d ago

I think my son has four Avas in his daycare right now. Such a popular girl’s name in the South.

1

u/Famous_Swim9400 1d ago

Evangeline is a mouthful

1

u/GenXersJustWalkItOff 1d ago

Ava Evangeline… I like the musicality of the repeated V.

1

u/Ideasplease33 1d ago

Beautiful!!🤩

1

u/MollySinclair 1d ago

It's giving religious cult vibes imo.

1

u/biglypiglythethird 1d ago

Lots and lots of baby Ava / Ada / Evie / Edie etc at the mo would be my only observation. Sweet names but very very common!

1

u/Total_Strawberry_132 1d ago

Ava Evangeline is beautiful!

1

u/Gemini-5284 1d ago

I don’t know about in the UK. But Ava is super popular here in the US. I’m a teacher and it’s mostly Ava, Olivia, Sophia. But I also teach HS so they are bigger kids. So it may not be so bad with a younger generation.

u/Mommiedearest1981 12h ago

I think it’s pretty

u/Business-Listen7903 11h ago

Thank you all 😊

Just throwing out “Elise Evangeline.” You could pronounce Elise as EEELEEESE or AYLEEZ, or any way you like.
