I’d really like to honor my grandmother, [name_f]Lina[/name_f], but because she and my mother didn’t get along very well, I wouldn’t use her name alone. Here are my ideas so far:
[name_f]Emmalina[/name_f]/Emilina/[name_f]Emelina[/name_f]
Annalina
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
Which do you like best? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any other ideas? [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Angelina[/name_f] are off the table, fyi.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Evelina[/name_f]! Super gorgeous.
I also like [name_f]Emiliana[/name_f], though not as much.
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f] is truly a beautiful, underused name, I think it’d be a great choice.
Others:
[name_f]Celina[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangelina[/name_f] (I like [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] just a bit more, though!)
Good luck! I hope I helped.
I love [name_f]Lina[/name_f] names, as well as [name_f]Lina[/name_f] itself. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favourites are [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], [name_f]Evelina[/name_f], and [name_f]Carolina[/name_f]/[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]. 
[name_f]Alina[/name_f] is my favorite at the moment, but [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] and Avelina are lovely as well.
I really like [name_f]Evelina[/name_f]!
I like [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] pronounced the Spanish way–like [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] Herrera.
[name_f]Paulina[/name_f]
[name_f]Karolina[/name_f] - like rkrd said, the Spanish pronunciation
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]! It’s an excellent choice. So beautiful and sweet.

Thanks for all of the feedback and great ideas, everyone! It sounds like [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] is the clear front runner.
I am definitely going to add [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] to our list, too. Although I love the sound of [name_f]Coralina[/name_f] and [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], my in-laws’ names are [name_f]Carol[/name_f] and [name_u]Lee[/name_u], and I feel like the obvious assumption would be that we chose the name after them… which is a little weird to me.
So many forms of [name_f]Lina[/name_f] in my family too. Here are some [name_f]Lina[/name_f] names that come to mind…
[name_f]Emelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
Umbelina
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]
[name_f]Melina[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelina[/name_f]
Avelina
[name_f]Carmelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalina[/name_f]
Stelina
[name_m]How[/name_m] about Helina or [name_f]Kalina[/name_f]? I have to say my favorite -[name_f]Lina[/name_f] name is [name_f]Alina[/name_f], or [name_f]Lina[/name_f] on its own (even though that doesn’t work for you).
[QUOTE=Of course, there is always the lovely Lina, which I think would be a great nickname for any -lina name, although maybe not Carolina if pronounced “caro-line-ah” (as in washing line). :)[/QUOTE]
I would pronounce [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] as care-ol-eena)
[name_f]Karolina[/name_f] and Pomelina.
[name_f]Madelina[/name_f] is a personal favorite
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] are very sweet. I also really like [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] (although it’s an “e” instead of an “i”, but same sound).

[name_f]Stellina[/name_f]
[name_f]Opalina[/name_f]
