I must admit, I think [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is extraordinarily dowdy.

Evangeline nn [name_f]Eva[/name_f] is highest on my list, but sometimes I wonder if I don’t like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] more? I would do [name_f]Eva[/name_f] as a stand-alone if not for my deep love of my [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] combo lol ([name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]!). I also love [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. :heart: So one of those three lol.

Evangeline is definitely my favorite. I’ve always thought it was so elegant. I also enjoy [name_f]Eveline[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. I prefer if the -ine ending is pronounced “een” usually.

16

Love the suggestions of [name_f]Sabine[/name_f], [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f] and [name_f]Vespertine[/name_f] too :heart_eyes:

Delphine is definitely past its prime in [name_f]France[/name_f], but I think it’s starting to feel like a fresh possibility to American ears now — like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] but even less popular.

I class the names differently according to end sound even though the spelling is the same.

Catherine (ends with a short i sound)
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] (ends with a long i sound)
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (ends with a long e sound)
