I used to not like either name.
Evangeline sounded too serious and more dramatic than other names that I liked better.
Eva sounded rough, and I usually prefer gentler sounds. I like
Evangeline now because it is pretty and dramatic in a good way.
Even so, it seems a bit too religious for me to use, and I still do not care much for
Eva. However, I don't think
Eva or
Eve is overly religious. Both names are common enough to have lost whatever "overbearing" biblical quality that they had. Although
Evangeline is popular right now, I cannot say from my own experience that it is common, so that is something else to like about the name.
