eh-vuh-LEE-nuh is how I would say [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] :lemon:

eh-vuh-lyn is how I say [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], so eh-vuh-lynn-uh would be [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] + a :honey_pot:

eev-lee-nuh would be [name_f]Eve[/name_f] + [name_f]Lina[/name_f] :sunflower:

Omg this is the first time that anybody has mentioned using the same pronunciation as the one I use! Out of all the Latin languages I would say Portuguese is by far the one I am least familiar with and also (I could be wrong) the least represented on this site so if this is standard pronunciation in Portuguese I can see why so many people find it such a foreign idea and why (ee-vuh-LEEN-ah) and (ehv-uh-LEEN-ah) are the most chosen pronounciations.

I still find [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] pronounced (eve-lee-nuh) to be the prettiest sound of them all but I was starting to settle on the more dominant way people seem to say it despite that way not really feeling right to me. So, in short, I am so so happy to have seen your post, thank you for sharing, and honestly if you know of any Portuguese given names that get completely left out/overlooked/ are unheard of across Nameberry could you please share them? Iā€™d be quite interested.
