In Uncle Tom's Cabin, the sweet, little girl that dies (I think) is named Evangeline (nn Eva). That's not quite as bad as it sounds, because the character really is a sweet child. Every literature professor I've ever had (and that's been a lot, because I was an English major) pronounced it i-van-jeh-line (long I at the end, as in the word "line", rather than the short I at the beginning, as in "lint"). I prefer this pronunciation, but that's probably just because I like long vowels...Caroline, Rosaline, Cathleen, etc.
I still like Genevieve, but I also really like Eva.
