For a few years now I have decided to use a family name, Emiel, for a MN. Now that we are TTC, I am considering whether it could make a good FN also? We do tend to like ‘E’ or vowel names.
If used in the middle, I would keep our flemish/belgian spelling of Emiel. If used in first place, I would choose the more familiar spelling of [name]Emil[/name] or [name]Emile[/name] (and also because I would want our son to have a FN that is all his).
[name]Emil[/name] looks more masculine in my opinion but I think it would get mispronounced more often as (ah-mil instead of ah-meal).
WDYT of this name and which spelling do you prefer?
