What about this name?

I was discussing names with my friend last night and I told her I loved the name Evangeline and also Evangelina. She said that Evangelina sounded chavvy - does it?

    How the heck does it sound chavvish???!!! They such beautiful names, and so elegant. If my soon-to-be-brother was a girl, I atually suggested Evangelina,but he is a boy, so I sadly think we won't be able to use it =(

    Seriously, it also has a great nickname "Eva" which is so pretty!!

    People are weird. They say THOSE are chavvish, waht about names like Jodii, or Kayleigh, or Amieleigh!! Or Sahnet, Channai..just some of the names on here in the last few weeks.

    Evangelina seems like a smoosh of Eva and Angelina. Strange how just that one letter sets it apart from the original.

    Keep it Evangeline hun :)

    I have a character on a computer game that I called Evangela :) - I like that better

    I prefer Evangeline to Evangelina because I think Evangeline rings nicer when you say it

    I don't think Evangelina sounds chavvy at all. I don't think a chav would come up with a name like that to be honest!

    Evangeline is one of my favourite Anime characters.

    She's a vampire and under a curse.. so i wouldn't call either Evangeline or Evangelina chavy lol!

    I thought chavy names were like Mercades and Chanelle, but thats just what i was told XD

    When we picked names we tried to think of all the shortenings or lengthenings of that name and whether we could put up with our children having those monikas. Evangeline could be Evie,Eva,Evange (Not nice), ange... Have a think!

    We have a Max and a Zoë

    Good Luck

    i love evangeline

    i think turning it into evangelina would ruin the name because it already sounds lovely as evangeline

    if you like the -ina at the end try angelina

    Very. Don't do this to your child, please.

    TBH I'm not a fan of Evangeline either, but it makes a change from Evelyn. What about Emmeline (as in Pankhurst)?
