Emaline, Emmaline, Emmeline

Girl Names

[name]Hi[/name]! We are set on the name [name]Emaline[/name] but unsure which spelling to choose. I like the double “mm” so I’m leaning towards [name]Emmeline[/name]. I read that the main character of the movie, The [name]Blue[/name] Lagoon was named [name]Emmeline[/name]. Does anyone know what her character was like in that movie?
Also, we need a 1 syllable name to go with [name]Emaline[/name]. Any Ideas?

I was thinking [name]Emaline[/name] [name]Blair[/name]? Our original idea was [name]Emaline[/name] [name]Starla[/name], but that is just a mouthful. I want something simple but pretty as a middle.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

[name]Emmeline[/name], it’s the original spelling. [name]Emaline[/name] makes me want to say ee-muh, not emm-uh.

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Skye[/name]

I definitely prefer [name]Emmeline[/name] and [name]Emmaline[/name] to [name]Emaline[/name].

[name]Emmeline[/name]/[name]Emmaline[/name] [name]Blair[/name] is nice! I’m running through all the one-syllable names I can think of in my head, and I think I like this combo better than any of them.

I’m a stickler for using the original spelling so [name]Emmeline[/name] is my choice. I really like the suggestion of [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Claire[/name]! I also like [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Blair[/name] (but I may be biased, that’s my name and I rarely see it suggested on NB, so that’s nice! :-)).

5

[name]Emmaline[/name] and [name]Emmeline[/name] are both nice. I wouldn’t do [name]Emaline[/name].

I know [name]Emmeline[/name] is the original, but to be honest, I think just as many people would spell it [name]Emmaline[/name] if they have to guess. [name]Do[/name] you plan on calling her [name]Emma[/name] at all? That would be the deciding factor for me.

[name]Emmeline[/name]/[name]Emmaline[/name] [name]Blair[/name] is lovely!!

[name]Emmeline[/name] is the best spelling, I don’t really like unique spellings of names. Other berries have given great combo suggestions like [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Mae[/name] (lovely choices)!

[name]How[/name] about

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Marie[/name]

[name]Emmeline[/name] all the way. [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Blair[/name]/[name]Claire[/name] is nice.
In the [name]Blue[/name] Lagoon she was pretty innocent and loyal, if I remember right. It’s something about teenage love etc…

8

That is a great point on [name]Emaline[/name] sounding like EEmaline, which I don’t want to happen.

Thank you!

Thank you!

As for nicknames I prefer [name]Em[/name] or [name]Emme[/name] EmmEE to [name]Emma[/name], so that being said, it sounds like [name]Emmeline[/name] is the way to go!

[name]Emmaline[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is pretty too!

My husband says [name]Blair[/name] reminds him of the girl from The Facts of Life! I would have thought, Gossip Girl first, LOL! Either way I love the name.

Also, [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Lily[/name] just popped into my mind which I think sounds very pretty

haha, I find it ironic that you say you prefer the [name]Emmeline[/name] spelling for the double "M"s, but you keep spelling it [name]Emaline[/name]. :slight_smile: I personally am all for [name]Emmeline[/name]–I believe either [name]Emmeline[/name] or [name]Emeline[/name] is the original French spelling–but I just thought that was interesting. :slight_smile:

I adore [name]Emmeline[/name], personally–it used to be my favorite girls’ name, fell off for a while, and now it’s back and I still really love it! I think something like [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Starla[/name] is fine, although [name]Starla[/name]'s not really my thing–it doesn’t sound any longer than something like [name]Elena[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] or [name]Aria[/name] [name]Lucy[/name], and neither one of those seem disproportionately long (at least, imo!). Then again, I’ve had 3 [name]Emmeline[/name] combos I’ve loved enough to add to my list ([name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Ruby[/name], and [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Poppy[/name] (my current combo! Och, love)), and they’re all more than one syllable. And I plan on using a second MN to honor family. :slight_smile: I also considered these, if they interest you:

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Kaia[/name] (still adore the contrast between these two!)
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Cosima[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Leona[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Fiora[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Clara[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Cora[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Lyra[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Lila[/name]

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Lily[/name] is very pretty, too!

If you want a one-syllable MN, what about:

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Liv[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Kate[/name] (considered this myself, and still might use it as a second middle–I quite like [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Poppy[/name] [name]Kate[/name]!)
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Joy[/name] (very sweet!)
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name] (meh, [name]Grace[/name] is often seen as a filler MN, but since it’s my grandmother’s MN, I rarely see it as so. With no significance, though, it might seem kind of trite and blah, though)
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] (so French! I love it!)
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Tess[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Bay[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Greer[/name]/[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Grier[/name] ([name]Grier[/name] is one unisex name I absolutely adore–I think [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Grier[/name] is fab!)
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]/[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Rue[/name]

I think [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Johanna[/name] would be a beautiful combo, too, although it doesn’t really seem to fit anything you’re looking for. :slight_smile:

Good luck!

Agreed with the one m version making me want to say ee-muh rather than [name]Emma[/name]. I think pronunciation will be easiest with [name]Emmaline[/name] as it’s said how it’s spelt, but I do prefer the traditional [name]Emmeline[/name] the most.

12

Thank you for all these wonderful suggestions! [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] was one of my first thoughts, but the Hus doesn’t love that MN. I really like so many of these! [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] sounds beautiful and [name]Charlotte[/name] has always been one of my favorite names, but I wanted something a bit more unique for the FN. I never even thought of it as a MN for [name]Emmeline[/name], but it really sounds lovely.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I love [name]Emmeline[/name], that spelling. [name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] is quite cute.

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Adele[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Clare[/name]

I prefer [name]Emmalin[/name], actually. But from you list, [name]Emmeline[/name] is my favorite.

15

[name]Emmeline[/name] definitely! :slight_smile:

16

I love the name [name]Emaline[/name]. This is my favorite spelling. and it is legit and been around for hundreds of years.
It is on my list.
They are all nice though and doesnt really matter which spelling.

Emmaline ranked in the US Security top 1000 in the 1880s.
Emmeline has never ranked
