Help[Opinions] Adeline and Evelyn
At the moment these are my two favourite names for my baby should she be a girl. Some questions:
1. Which do you prefer?
2. Do you like the names Adeline Charlotte and Evelyn Maria?
3. If choose one could I use the other in the future for a little sister or are they too similar?
4. Do you think I could use two middle names, for example Adeline Charlotte Lavender or Evelyn Maria Leonie? Do you prefer just one middle name.
5. If you don't like the above names, here are the other names for girls on my (updated) list :)
Claudia
Anabel
Imogen (newly approved by my dh)
Emilia
Mns (these tend to change around)
Charlotte
Elizabeth
Maria
Sofia
Neve
Natalia
Leonie
Madeleine
Katerina
Adrienne
Olivia
Isadora
Cordelia
Esme
Rosalie
Emmeline
Lavender
Thanks so much! I do really want to get the perfect name!

1. Which do you prefer? - I slightly prefer Adeline (pronounced Add-ah-line) but both are gorgeous.
2. Do you like the names Adeline Charlotte and Evelyn Maria? - yes, both combos are lovely
3. If choose one could I use the other in the future for a little sister or are they too similar? - I wouldn't because of the similar endings, even though they sound different. What about Adeline and Eve or Adelaide and Evelyn?
4. Do you think I could use two middle names, for example Adeline Charlotte Lavender or Evelyn Maria Leonie? Do you prefer just one middle name. - I prefer one mn, but if one of the mn's is a family name or has special significance, it doesn't seem so bad.
5. If you don't like the above names, here are the other names for girls on my (updated) list :)
I like the above names, and I also like:
Claudia
Imogen
Charlotte
Maria
Katerina
Olivia
Isadora
Cordelia
Esme
Rosalie
Emmeline
Good luck!

1. Which do you prefer? Evelyn but Adeline is less common, which is a plus. I love the name Adelyn / Adalyn, but I'm not sure if it's too trendy for your tastes.
2. Do you like the names Adeline Charlotte and Evelyn Maria? I don't care for Charlotte and Maria but I like Adeline and Evelyn.
3. If choose one could I use the other in the future for a little sister or are they too similar?
I don't think they're too similar if you're pronouncing the end of Adeline like the word "line" or as "leen".
4. Do you think I could use two middle names, for example Adeline Charlotte Lavender or Evelyn Maria Leonie? Do you prefer just one middle name.
Two middle names seem fine to me.
5. If you don't like the above names, here are the other names for girls on my (updated) list :)
Claudia - nms
Anabel - pretty but I prefer Annabelle
Imogen (newly approved by my dh) - nice but nms
Emilia - very pretty
Mns (these tend to change around)
Charlotte - nms
Elizabeth - nice but very common
Maria - nms
Sofia - pretty; Evelyn Sofia and Adeline Sofia are nice
Neve - pretty
Natalia - nms
Leonie - pretty
Madeleine - very pretty
Katerina - pretty
Adrienne - pretty but I like Adrianne and Adrianna better
Olivia - pretty
Isadora - pretty
Cordelia - nms
Esme - pretty
Rosalie - pretty; I like Adeline Rosalie and Evelyn Rosalie
Emmeline - pretty

1. Both are lovely but I love Adeline best.
2. Yes, they are both lovely. Are Charlotte and Maria family names? Otherwise Evelyn Marie might flow a little better.
3. It depends. If you use nn, they are not too similar (Ada, Addie, Eva, Evie).
4. Just do what you prefer. If you have many names you love, why not use two mn? Where I live (Sweden), it seems that two mn is the norm.
5. I love Anabel (prefer it spelt Annabel).
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

Here's an idea for you Hannah-Sue
In the Names Games Board you could do a CAF with options, and the options being the names you like. This way you may be able to find many pretty name combos you havn't though of with the names you like!

Are you prn is Ade-LINE or Ade-LEEN? I prefer the latter, and I think it sounds nice with Charlotte. I like Evelyn, too, but Maria is such a "filler" mn.
Adeline Sofia
Evelyn Charlotte
Evelyn Rosalie
Adeline Madeleine (jk)
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help.
I like Ade-LINE and Ade-LEEN. The first time I heard the name was on a French exchange student, so I always think of it as Ade-LEEN, although most people do not pronounce it that way here! I know what you mean about Maria, but my husband loves it. He thinks it sounds religious. We'll see!
And I love Adeline Madeleine :P

I like both combos but have you ever thought about Charlotte Maria?? Out of the two up there I prefer Evelyn Maria. I think they do sound too similar and might not be best for sibblings (and this is coming from me being the one who wants to name my kids Jack & Jake lol). I like two middle names but I think it's going to depend on the sound of it and if it flows nicely. Both those combos with 2 middle names I think are really lovely.
Some ideas from the names you like:
Natalia Anabel
Anabel Sofia
Imogen is a really nice name and I think there's not enough Imogen's out there.
Imogen Anabel Lavender
Imogen Lavender
Imogen Leonie (another nice name not used enough!)
I hope I've been some help =)

Thanks, you were of help!
I love your combos with Imogen. Now I have even more options to think about!

I was more into boys names but being on here in the last few days (I don't really have anything to do 'cause it's the holidays lol) I have seen heaps of really pretty girls names brought up that I never would've thought about. Imogen being one of them.

My vote is for Adeline. I've never really warmed up to Eveyln. :( But it does have cute nickname potential: Evie.
Adeline Charlotte is gorgeous, and though I like the name Lavender, Adeline Charlotte Lavender seems a bit too pretentious. A shorter second middle name would be nice and complementary, like Adeline Charlotte Rose or Adeline Charlotte Maria.
As for the one versus two middle names, I don't see a problem with having two middle names if they complement the other names instead of sounding like an obvious add-on.
Another combo that I think would be lovely (using your names) is Imogen Lavender Sofia or Imogen Sofia Lavender. Imogen Lavender and Sofia Lavender are pretty, as well.
