Too over the top?

Girl Names
1

DH and I like the names [name_u]Banks[/name_u] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Banks[/name_u] for a girl. putting aside if you personally like them or not, I’m worried this pairing sounds too grand/wordy/over the top. what do you think?

  • I don’t think these names are too “grand”
  • I do think these names sound over the top, but they’re usable
  • I think these names are too strong to use together

I don’t think either combo is too over the top.

Side note- I love [name_u]Banks[/name_u]!

I like the names! I don’t think they’re too grand. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Banks[/name_u]/Banks [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] makes me think of an elegant woman in high heels walking through a city, it sounds so cool.

I think [name_u]Banks[/name_u] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is a phenomenal and outstanding combination! And this is from someone who doesn’t personally like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] usually :grin:

Ever the unpopular opinion on here, I personally wouldn’t name a child [name_u]Banks[/name_u], especially not a girl. I may be biased because my husband works for a bank. Since [name_m]Bank[/name_m] is a word, it can set itself up for some associations (which may not be so great…) piggy bank, sperm bank, word bank, etc. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is very pretty though.

I definitely think they are both strong names, but not so much that they are unusable together! I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Banks[/name_u] as a first name (probably because I’m not used to it, it could probably grow on me) but I love it as a middle name - [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Banks[/name_u] is wonderful!

I love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. Not too over the top IMO! I don’t really “get” [name_u]Banks[/name_u], but maybe that’s a cultural thing.

I don’t think they are too over the top. [name_f]My[/name_f] preference is [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Banks[/name_u]. I love long flowy names with lots of nickname potential

Ebbie would be a cute nickname !

I really like the name [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] I think it’s a beautiful classic name that doesn’t feel to grand at all. [name_u]Banks[/name_u] I’m unsure on but I can see the appeal the name has a jazzy undertone I do have a preference for [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Banks[/name_u]

Its a nice combo.
[name_u]Banks[/name_u] is also becoming more known due to [name_u]Hilary[/name_u] Duffs baby.
