Help me decide between two names!

Eva or Angelina for my failed sway?

DH is determined her name will be Angelina and I like it, but our last name is long so it might not be a good combination+we have a friend who's daughter name is Angelina. They call her Nina.
DH's great grandmother was Angelina btw.

I like Eva, it was MY great grandmother's name (lol! but that's not the reason!) It's short, effective and ultimately NOT popular which is a bonus.

How about putting the names together Eva Angelina? It has a nice flow. Other nicknames for Angelina could be Angie, Gel, or Line.

[Zivic-Bubac]

I like Line or Lina for nickname

The thing here is, you don't give your child 2 names unless you're very rich and/or very snob, preferably both lol! I'm neither Although it would be nice to be rich LOL!

I like the name Lina, I almost called DD1 that but ended up choosing Aleena which sounds similar

ZB you can pretend to be rich! My DS1 likes Eva more but only because he likes to watch the Wall-e Movie.

How about merging them into one name? If you remember the main actress on the show "Lost" ... her first name is Evangeline.

Personally, I don't care for Angelina ... but only because I immediately think "Angelina Jolie." (Nothing wrong with Angeline Jolie, but any time a name gives me an instant association, I am not too fond of it.)

If we had had two girls, the second one would have been named Eve. So I vote Eva.

I like them both, but I like Angelina more. I like the idea of combining the two as well--Eva Angelina does sound nice! Then you could call her either one. I grew up with an Angelina, and she had a long last name, and it flowed nicely.

Evangeline is a cute name too!

Both beautiful names... god i wish i had the chance to use my girls names! Eva very popular in the UK so i would probably avoid but seeing as its not where you are, i like that one. Also love Angelina.... but not keen on angie so would want to shorten it quickly myself before someone else did! Hope you are doing ok. Im still struggling some days... but they are fewer.

[purplepoet20]

Maybe you should try the yell it out method.... 1st and last name together.... Like your child just drew on the walls, flushed your wallet full of money down the toilet, or poured something messy in your underwear drawer!

I did this with both my boys first, middle, and last together.
