How do *you* pronounce Eveline?

I automatically default to eh-vah-LEEN, but I’ve also heard EEV-lin, EH-vah-lin, and EH-vah-line. There ended up being more pronunciations than I realized, so now I’m curious…

How would you personally say this name?

And just with the first two responses, I am now up to 6 different pronunciations. Shew. lol I feel like this name is so lovely, but could very easily lead to corrections all the time with so many ways to say it.

My instinct would be to pronounce it EH-vah-line, but if I ever encountered it in person I would pronounce it eh-vah-LEEN bc I assume that’s how most people pronounce it. I would never pronounce it EH-vah-lin since that’s the [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] spelling

I wouldn’t pronounce it the same as [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], either, but it was one of the options given on a pronunciation website. Supposedly, it is an American way to pronounce it, although I am American and [name_f]Eveline[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] are two separate names to me. :woman_shrugging:

My first instinct (and my preference) is EV-uh-leen or EH-vuh-leen (those sound the same to me, but not sure which way to break it up syllable-wise). I also wouldn’t be surprised by EV-uh-line/EH-vuh-line.

I always struggle with -ine endings names for this reason! Usually I assume names with -ine endings would be pronounced rhyming with the word ‘pine’, so my first attempt would be EV-UH-LINE, closely followed by EV-UH-LEEN :slight_smile:

EV-UH-LIN wouldn’t cross my mind, and I don’t think EEV-LINE or EEV-LEEN would be much of an issue either. Although, I did know an [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] that was pronounced EEV-LIN so you never know!
