How do you pronounce Evelina?

Girl Names
1

[name_f]Evelina[/name_f] is on our short list, but I’m curious how other people would pronounce it.

2

I’d say ‘ev-eh-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-na’.

If I were to see ‘EE-va-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-na’ it sounds a little too like ‘evil’ for my liking.

3

Eh-veh-leen-uh.

4

Ev-veh-lee-nuh

5

Ev-uh-lean-uh (Ev-uh like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u])

6

I say ev-uh-leen-ah, but I’ve heard [name_f]Fanny[/name_f] [name_m]Burney[/name_m]'s novel [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] pronounced as ev-uh-line-ah too. I’d say you could use either depending on personal preference, people will get used to it.

7

I think I’d say Eh-ver-lean-uh, it’s a lovely name, btw.

8

I know an [name_f]Evelina[/name_f], ~12 years old. She pronounces it eh-vuh-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-nah

9

eve-lee-nuh is my instinct

10

Ev-vuh-leen- ah

11

ev-uh-lee-nuh.

12

Eev-vuh-lee-na.
