I know an Eglantine, but since she is not American it is pronounced more like "AUG-lahn-teen". I don't think I would ever use the name personally, but I have very good associations with it and I would love to meet little Eglantines every now and then.-- Sabrina 7/10/2007
This would probably sound like a Briticism to American ears. To me, it sounds like one of those names used occasionally by the Victorians. I'm yet another one to avoid using a name like Eglantine.-- freeserve.co.uk 8/30/2007
This is French for "wild rose."-- avalah 4/27/2008

Brilliant name! Love Bedknobs and Broomsticks! Angela Lansbury's amazing (Eglantine, Eglantine, oh how you shine.) :D-- walesgal92 6/26/2009
The name Eglantine derives from Latin *aculeatus* "thorny" via Old French *aiglant*.
Also, the Eglantine Rose had two symbolic meanings in the Victorian language of flowers: "a wound to heal" and/or "simplicity".-- Anonymous User 8/13/2009
Elegant Eglantine! A refreshing alternative to the less original, more popular Evangeline. Nicknames for Eglantine could be: Glenna or Glen; Tina; Lena; Letty; or Glee. : )-- Anonymous User 8/25/2009
