Give me some middle name ideas

Please throw out some middle name ideas for the first name Evangeline. Our last name is Tang, so we would prefer something with 2 syllables.

While you're at it... let me know what you think about this:

We like the name Kelyn for a girl, but since our son is Kilian, we decided against using it as a first name. We're still considering it as a middle name. My middle name is Lynn, which is a family name. DH is Vietnamese, and has an awesome cousin named Linh. He doesn't like Evangeline Linh, but does like Evangeline Kelyn. What do you think of Evangeline Kelinh? This would keep the meaning from both families, while keeping the pronunciation he likes. Is it a bit of a stretch? Or does it sound/look ok? Honest thoughts appreciated. TIA!

    I'm not a fan of fn and mn ending in the "lin" sound. I love the idea of using family names as mns, but using Evangeline kind of does that.

    ..I'm drawing a blank now, sorry

    Thanks for the feedback. We pronounce it EvangeLEEN, so they don't really sound the same. I wonder if they're still too close though.

    Funny you mentioned Evangeline Jade, that's on our list. DH really likes it. We both like that the word has meaning in Asian culture. I just don't really like the sound of a 1 syllable middle name with our 1 syllable last name, KWIM?

    DD is Evangeline Mei so I love that, probably spelled May or Mae for most people.  I also love Evangeline Kate.

    I like Evangeline Kelyn okay. You could spell it Kailyn or Cailyn too. But I like Evangeline Kaitlyn best. You can even add another N to honor your middle name, making it Kaitlynn. Even though it's long it's still only two syllables. Good luck! :)
