I love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] “angel” :two_hearts:

[name_f]Evanna[/name_f] is beautiful, definitely gets my vote.

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is lovely but a little too ‘common/well known’ for me.
I don’t mind [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] only struggle with it because a family member with this name has always been teased & called Verruca :woman_facepalming:t2:
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] is a lovely name my accent however is harsh in the as- so it mainly said as @$$ & yea… as you can imagine it’s a name that gets avoided for me lol.

I’ve put more nn ideas in a tab, in case they’re not wanted.

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - absolutely beautiful but has some grit. I could definitely see [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] on a traditionally feminine, pretty-girl character, but also on a zombie fighting unconventional type.

[name_m]Van[/name_m] could be another good nickname.

[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] - a bit dated but I love it! She’s quirky, no nonsense and clever.

Summary

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Nico[/name_m]! [name_m]Ronnie[/name_m] is another idea.

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] - no strong imagery. [name_f]My[/name_f] strongest association is with an [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] I used to look after, who was an absolute treasure with Italian and [name_f]British[/name_f] ethnicity. She was so bright, helpful and generally awesome!

[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] - another quirky one! Could see this name on anyone but I do find it sits in a kind of upper class category, along with [name_f]Lettice[/name_f] and [name_f]Hortensia[/name_f], for example. It’s also really sweet.

Summary

[name_f]Ree[/name_f], [name_f]Addy[/name_f], [name_f]Andi[/name_f]

Ev- names - all beautiful with golden tones. Would suit someone with a radiant personality maybe.

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - Sweet, peppy, bubbly
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] - socially savvy, a bit cutthroat
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] / [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] - loner, standoffish
Evandra - ethereal, spacey, in touch with nature

(A lot of these are influenced by people I know)
