What do you think of my baby girls name?

Evangeline Rae (Eva for short)

No opinions will change our minds, but it's different so was curious as to what everyones initial reaction would be. Most of our family doesn't like it which actually makes me like it more, lol.

Update:

lol...hence the "Eva" for short. Name is pronounced ee-van-ja-LEEN.

Update 2:

Also, we chose "Rae" for middle name b/c my cousin Rachel passed away in car accident. So we did Rae in her honor and were surprised it is actually listed as a baby girl name.

    Evangeline Rae is gorgeous!

    my friends name is Evangeline Skye and she's called Evie which is cute, another nickname idea :)

    Rae is nice too, it's nice that your naming her after your cousin.

    good luck! :)

    I like Evangeline Rae! It's cute. And Eva is an adorable nickname.

    Evangeline is a little long and flowery for my taste. And theres something about the "Evang" part in the beginning that sounds unfeminine and unpleasant to me. Eva is a cute nickname though. I don't love Rae. My friends name is Raechel and we call her Rae for short, so its more of a nickname than an actual name to me, but thats just my opinion. I'd give it a 6/10. I personally wouldn't use it.

    Evangeline is a common name.. but adding Rae sounds like a korean name to me..

    but i think it's a nice name^_^

    I love the name Evangeline, but Rae is completely redneck.

    It just makes me think of those evangelical christians who like to go around harassing people at their homes. So yeah, I dislike it. If the first thing to pop into my mind wasn't the act of evangelizing and thus the evangelicals, I think I'd like it a lot more.

  • I like it! sounds unique :)

    and Rae is an option for when I have a kid of my own someday :)

    Evangeline sounds pretty long, but if i were in this situation i would tell my wife to give her a shorter name, no offense
