Yours is a short yet sweet and informative Acrostic, Eve. The name Balala does exist....it's African and roughly means that "to grow one has to eat"! Hugs // paul

So sorry you don’t like. Evelyn used to sound old to me until my sweet granddaughter acquired the name - Evie for short. If you would like read my poem “Hope” Likewise my mom was teased but her granddaughter used her namesake middle name and my mom now has a reason to like. :)

Thank you Kim but I never like the name Evelia it has always reminded me of when I was always being yelled at and when I was younger and my siblings calling me baLala
