I voted [name]Evangeline[/name] nn [name]Eve[/name]. I absolutely adore [name]Helena[/name], but not the nn [name]Nell[/name] (prefer [name]Leni[/name], [name]Ella[/name], or even [name]Lena[/name]), and I absolutely love the nn [name]Liv[/name], but I’m not crazy about [name]Lavinia[/name]. [name]Lavinia[/name] nn [name]Liv[/name] would have been my second choice, though–[name]Liv[/name] is just so perfect, imo!
I think [name]Evangeline[/name] fits best with your other options, as well. [name]Rosamund[/name] and [name]Rose[/name] are lovely, and fit well on your list, but I’m a bit over the [name]Rose[/name] names. I don’t really think you could go wrong with any of them, though!
The only other names I thought might fit on your list are [name]Bryony[/name] and [name]Tabitha[/name]. I think they would fit really well, although neither is very mythological, classic, or literary. They are a bit on the longer side, though, which is why I thought they would be nice additions. 
They have fairly varied, nice nn potential, too (Bry, [name]Bree[/name], [name]Brynn[/name], [name]Brio[/name]/[name]Bria[/name], [name]Iona[/name], etc. for [name]Bryony[/name], and [name]Tabby[/name], [name]Abby[/name], [name]Tibby[/name], Bit, etc. for [name]Tabitha[/name]…).
Good luck!
Thanks [name]Ash[/name] Out of all of them I have loved [name]Evangeline[/name] the longest, so that is probably my front runner at the moment. I know what you mean about the [name]Rose[/name] names, and I adore [name]Edmund[/name] for a boy, so maybe [name]Rosamund[/name] is out? I love both your suggestions, especially [name]Tabitha[/name]. I actually considered this as a possibility with the nn [name]Abby[/name]. [name]Bryony[/name]/[name]Briony[/name] has been on and off my extended list for a long time, and could very well make it into the top 10 as a middle, if not a first.
Oh, and what are everybody’s thoughts on [name]Isadora[/name]?
[name]Isadora[/name] is nice. I like it, and I think it fits well on your list, but, as you can see in my signature, I obviously prefer [name]Isabelle[/name]. I think [name]Isadora[/name] fits really well with something like [name]Annamaria[/name], [name]Guinevere[/name], or [name]Georgiana[/name] on your list, though. I still prefer [name]Evangeline[/name] nn [name]Eve[/name], but [name]Isadora[/name] is pretty.
I was torn between [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Helena[/name]. But I really love [name]Evangeline[/name] and its meaning bearer of good news. [name]Isadora[/name] is also nice but I prefer [name]Evangeline[/name]. All in all, I like your list:).
Thanks rgp19, [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Helena[/name] are probably my favourites too. Based on the poll and how long I’ve loved it, [name]Evangeline[/name] is looking most likely at the moment, but it could all change
I really like [name]Evangeline[/name] nn [name]Eve[/name], it has a very southern/cajun charm to it. I like [name]Helena[/name] but I dont think [name]Nell[/name] works as a nn for it (no offense). I’m curious as to what the issue is with [name]Magdalene[/name], is it because of [name]Mary[/name] [name]Magdalene[/name]?
I voted [name]Helena[/name] nn [name]Nell[/name]. I love the name [name]Nell[/name] as a name by itself or a nn. My second favorite was [name]Lavinia[/name], very pretty. I really didn’t care for [name]Rosamund[/name]-don’t like the mund ending, not pretty at all for a girl to me. [name]Evangeline[/name] is pretty bit I like [name]Helena[/name] & [name]Lavina[/name] better. I really love [name]Lavinia[/name], I just prefer [name]Nell[/name] to [name]Liv[/name].
[name]Rosamond[/name] is my favorite; however, I would drop the nn [name]Rose[/name]. [name]Rose[/name] is lovely, but it is used so often as a mn that I would prefer to go with simply [name]Rosamond[/name]. Also, I love the spelling [name]Rosamunde[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] is a name I’m majorly crushing on right now, but I’d say [name]Evangeline[/name] fits better with your other choices. I love [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Matilda[/name]!
Thanks so much for your replies everyone, they’re helping so much @thetxbelle- [name]Mary[/name] [name]Magdalene[/name] was the problem I was thinking of, I’m just not sure I’d want to use it as a first name because of that. Still love it in the middle though.
That is a hard decision, they are all so lovely. I chose [name]Lavinia[/name] because that has been my favorite since watching A [name]Little[/name] [name]Princess[/name]. The other two are gorgeous and I love your name list.
