Elizabeth\Vivian\Evangeline?? Can't decide!

Help! I’m due in 5 weeks for this baby and I am so indecisive about names cause I love too many! I can’t just settle down and say THIS is the name. I’ve gone round and round on the pro’s and con’s of each one till I’m about sick of it! The middle name will be [name_f]Faith[/name_f], without a doubt, so that’s at least clear :slight_smile:
My other children are [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Sam[/name_u]. I want a name that goes good with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], for sure.
I’ve got it at least narrowed down to these 3. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (with a nickname of [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], so cute!) has been a favorite for years, but seems so common next to the my other names. And the [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] I love equally.
But I’m not sure of which way most people pronounce [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. I say it with the -line sound, but am ok with -leen ending too. But not -lyn! What is common? And then there is the question of which spelling of [name_u]Vivian[/name_u][name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]?!
Hubby says he will be fine with any of them, agreeable dear that he is!

I adore [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] (and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]), [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] being my favorite. I pronounce [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] differently. I love them both equally. I think they all go well with your other children’s names.

My personal favourite among these is [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], which I have always pronounced -leen but I can see -line as well. But the other two are darling as well. As for spelling on [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], I prefer [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] as it looks a little more feminine to me.

I personally wouldn’t use [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] as a sister name for [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] because of the American Girl dolls. I adore [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] (with the -leen ending). I have honestly never heard of [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] pronounced with a -line ending. I think [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_m]Bennet[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], & [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] would go well together :slight_smile:

All three are lovely. I always pronounce [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] -leen though and never heard anyone say it -line. So maybe that’s not the wisest choice if -line is what you really want. I also prefer [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] over [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] -but [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is beautiful as well. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is a classic beauty, you can’t go wrong with that. if I choose one for you though, I choose [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f]. :slight_smile:
