I pronounce it e-van-je-leen.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

I've always pronounced it EvANgeleen.

I say 'ev-ON-zhel-een', because the only one I know is French. In English I'd probably make it closer to lin, like Jacqueline and Katherine.

It's definitely 'leen'.

I say lynn, as the only time I've ever heard it said aloud was in Nanny NcPhee (haha), and that's what they say.

I say it -leen. It's very pretty :)
