Does Emmelina work? [name_m]Can[/name_m] you just add -lina to the end of already romantic sounding name to make it more unique or does it just sound made up to you.
What’s your preference [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] or Emmelina?
Anyone got any other examples of where this would work?
For some reason my mind is taking me to Thumbelina.
I like Emmelina, surprised if it’s not already a name. It flows even better than [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. That said, I pronounce it Em-me-lee-na and not Em-me-lie-na. The second pronunciation wouldn’t work.
Me too, didn’t even consider the Em-me-lie-na, went straight to Em-me-lee-na. I think Emmelina is super pretty, and I’m surprised that’s not already a name. It’s definitely more frilly, but not more frilly than [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] or [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] to [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] to [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] (Adelina and [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] with the -lee-na pronunciations that Emmelina shares).
I wouldn’t blink twice on meeting an Emmelina, I would just think how pretty the name is and how unique.
But that’s not to say I don’t like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], and I’m not sure which I prefer right now.
Emmelina totally works. It’s a Latinised version of an already existing name, which isn’t too odd to see. [name_f]My[/name_f] first instinct is to pronounce it Em-me-lee-na.
Usually I prefer the stronger punchier versions … [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] over [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] over [name_f]Rosalinda[/name_f], etc) so I much prefer [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], especially given its connection to the women’s suffrage movement leader
I think you can still use all [name_f]Lina[/name_f] as a nickname to [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f].
[name_f]Emmalina[/name_f] totally works!! It’s pretty and it flows really nicely!! I don’t get Thumbalina vibes at all!! You’re good to go for this name!
