HelpAbout the "double I"
in reply to a message by Elec Fan
I know that a double-I in a name is common in Finnish and Estonian (Iisakki, Katariina, etc.), so it could just be a Finnish or Estonian spelling of Evangeline.
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):

I doubt it's a common name in Finland or Estonia anyway, even if the spelling looks right. I've never seen it (I think Eliina is common, though).

I highly doubt that's what she was going for.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I actually like a few names with the doube I's (Katariina being one of them!), but I guess Evangeliina just doesn't jive with me. I think it's because they're so close to the L; lowercase L's and I's sometimes blend together for me, so Evangeliina looks more like Evangeiiina. Which doesn't make Evangeliina a necessarily bad spelling if it's really just a Finnish/Estonian variant, it just becomes too confusing for me. :x
