I went through the same thing. Jasmine suited her, but another name I thought suited her sooooooooooooo much better. I had so many second thoughts, but by about 4ish months I relised she is DEFINATELY a Jazzy Jazz Jasmine lol. I can't imagine her as anything else.
I love Evangeline! There is a song by Matthew Sweet called Evangeline and it is beautiful. If you can get your habds on it give it a listen.
One of my friends has an Evangeline and she is Evie for short. We have a Genevieve and she is Vievey for short so when they are together they are Evie and Vievey - it is very cute.
I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that we spend so long thinking about it and throwing so many names around, and then all of a sudden we have to pick one, and hope it is right, and hope we still love it later etc etc. Bit of pressure there when you think about it.
I felt the same way about DS name but not really becuase I didn't like it or thought we had made the wrong choice, but because I didn't feel like I was ready to settle on one name. It felt weird not to have to think about it anymore, and felt very final or something.
Next time I will take my time with it, but I dare say that I will feel the same. At least it goes away pretty quickly.
FWIW, and as others have said, she has a gorgeous name and in a few months time you will know beyond doubt that you made the right choice and she couldn't possibly be anything other than Evangeline!
How are you feeling about it now SS??
Heaven - its funny you ask just now - it has literally only been in the last 2 wks that I have stopped calling her the other name in my head, and really thought that Evangeline suits her :)
yay!
Oh, I'm so happy to hear that!!
I second Heaven too ;) ... i feel so happy & relived at the same time for you SS :D
... It's a wonderful feeling when you start to get past those feelings of doubt as i too went through the same emotions with my daughter's name Cendrine ... often now i'm just so darn wrapt & soooo happy within myself that we chose her name as i couldn't imagine her to be anyone else other than a Cendrine :dance:
Once again i must say again to you SS ... Evangeline is just soooo BEAUTIFUL :D
:hug: I know my problem was that I'd imagined Riv with the name as a toddler, little boy, teenager, adult, old man...but I'd forgotten baby, and the name seemed too strong, and too...I don't know...for such a small thing! He's definitely grown into it though, and I'm sure he'll continue to do so. I'm glad it seems Evangeline is growing into her name too.
I also really love Evangeline - it was one of my favs but DH wasn't too keen. I'm so glad SS that you see the beauty in it too now :)
