How would one pronounce...

Eveline? It's a character in a short story by James Joyce, and I was like "whut?" when I first saw it. It looks like a misspelling of Evelyn, but I dunno.

I'd pronounce it like EV-uh-leen.

my initial thought on reading this was "ev-a-leen" but I've never heard of the name before.

My intial though was the same way as Evelyn

[eldanildiel.livejournal.com]

me too

I pronounce it Ev-uh-line. Like Caroline. :)

However, according to Babynamer it is pronounced "Ev-uh-leen". :)

Ev-uh-leen. I've seen it before, but never actually knew anyone with the name. I suppose one could pronounce it "ev-uh-LINE" like Caroline. But I personally would go with "Ev-uh-LEEN"

Ev-ah-leen, like Aveline, which is a similar name.

that is such a neat site! I love how it says the name for you. :]

[museofmyself.livejournal.com]

I agree! It's a great site, even though I still prefer it pronounced "Ev-uh-line". ;)

I'd probably pronounce it like Evelyn

I'd pronounce it like Evelyn.

Evelyn isn't common here (Netherlands), Eveline is. It's pronounced Ay-veh-leen.
But that's just here ;)

Ev-uh-LEEN or ev-uh-LINE, I suppose.
