Evangeline or Genevieve?
What the title says, which one do you like more? I’m trying to think of the name for this character I have right now but I’m kinda torn. Which one do you guys prefer sound wise?

I like Genevieve more; in fact, I don't even really like Evangeline.

I'd choose Evangeline because it has more scope for nicknames

She's your character! Only you can choose. I much prefer Genevieve to Evangeline, but I don't think of them as belonging to different kinds of people.

Both are great names, but Genevieve takes the biscuit. It has a better sound and strikes me as more evergreen.

Depends what your going for in the character I think. Yes, they are both fancy but they have different vibes. Genevieve feels more pink and frilled, and princess-like with Latin and Shakespearan Lessons, extroverted, disneyesque and Evangeline feels elegant, like a musician, purple, religious, still whimsical but a bit more lowkey and introverted, etc.

Genevieve, absolutely. I have always wanted to like Evangeline, but I can't.

Good question)) It depends on how they are pronounced.
i-VAN-jə-leen and JEHN-ə-veev, not JEHN-ee-veev?
Evangeline might seem easier, idk... I still prefer Genevieve.
