Eveline is the name of an absolutely beautiful song by Nickel Creek. It is implied that Eveline is going mad. In the song the name is pronounced Ev-uh-leen.
I think this is a pretty name, but I believe there is too much room for teasing from children. The name does look a bit like "Evil Line."

There are very many ways to pronounce this Ev-el-LEEN Ev-el-LINE Eve-L-ine Eve-LEEN Ev-el-line
I like all oh them and this is one of my favorite names ever. I love it because it is super uncommon and beautiful. I also like it because it is just so pretty! I love French names too.
This name is also used in the Netherlands as a less common variant of Evelien, the usual Dutch form of Evelina. It is pronounced ay-vuh-LEE-nuh and often shortened to Eef, Eefje, Eefie etc.
Eveline is also frequently used in The Netherlands, where it can be pronounced in *two* ways. In the north of the country, it is usually pronounced as: ay-və-LEE-nə
In the south of the country, it is usually pronounced as: ay-və-LEEN. [noted -ed]
We read the story Eveline in school and no one knew how to pronounce it! Most of us said ev-a-leen, although I guess it could be rarely pronounced like Evelyn, as with Madeline and Madelyn.
