Would you pronounce Evangeline ee-vange-uh-leen or Uh-vange-uh-leen?

I say (ee-VAN-jeh-LEEN) in English and (ay-VOWn-zhay-LEEN) in French. Kinda hard to transliterate the French pronunciation.

The first one. Pronouncing the letter E as "Uh" doesn't sound right.

ee-VAN-jeh-*line*...

I don't say ee or uh.. it's more like eh. Short e, like Evelyn. Eh-vange-uh-leen. This is how the Evangeline I know pronounces her name.

Hmpf. I've always said ee-VAN-jə-leen but BtN says it's ə-VAN-jə-leen. I don't like that pronunciation at all, so I'll continue saying EE-, I guess.
