Aside from the fact that it's an actress's name...WDYT of

Evangeline Lily?

I think it's a really good name.

Yes I  just posted...sorry.

Evangeline is high on my list of hated names, sorry. The connection to evangelical Christianity is just completely distasteful to me.

I like the way it flows.

I REALLY like Ava Evangeline

I really like Evangeline (along with Evangelina), but paired with Lily it's pretty redundant to me.. too many "li-lil sounds"

Way too many Christian undertones.

They're not even undertones, it's more like overtones.

I actually know someone who named her daughter Evangeline, and their last name is Lilly.

Ok, I now know how stupid this makes me sound, but I've never realised the Christian association with that name before now. I think it might be that I knew a girl named Evangeline James (James was the surname) when I was tiny, and for ages I thought of it as all on name - "you know little Evangeline James?" Type thing. Plus, I knew her before I knew what evangelical meant, and I've never concidered it since. I've no idea if that's changed my perception of the name or not.
