What do you think of the name Evelia?

I love Evie, but feel it's too nicknamey to stand on it's own.
Eva is too much like Ava, which I prefer but thanks to the overwhelming skyrocket is a nono..
Evelyn is okay, but it doesn't make me oohh and ahh.
Evangeline is just too long and reminds me of Ms Jolie.
Evelia [prn with simlar emphasis on syllables to Ophelia] has everything I look for in a name. I love the possible nicknames as much [Evie, Vivi, Lia]
It's really flouncy and feminine.
It ends in -ia.
It's not common.


The only issues I have with it are, my other favourite name is Esmé, so two E's would annoy me, like i'd started a trend or something.
I feel like it's a bit too made up- considering I'd never heard it before, kind of made it up and had to check with behindthenames.com .. turns out it's Spanish variant of Eve.

So, thoughts?

whoops sorry I missed your reply above about pronounciation
I'm not sure I understand why the initial sound would be 'uh'
