update
He was convinced and is on board with emmeline 
if we have a girl one day, she is a contender
I love the name Emmeline for a girl (hubs does not) and it sounds similar to my maiden last name (ebb-line) and I really like that — in a sense honoring my family’s heritage
( pronounced Emma-line )
I need help thinking of names to go with it !
Would like to use emmeline (nn emma) as a first name, but not opposed to making it a middle
As much as I adore [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], since your husband doesn’t love it, I’d move it to the middle name.
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Cosette[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]

[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
Wildcard: would he like [name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f] rather than [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]?
He said he was okay with Emma, but I wanted a “proper” name for it and he said no 
. But I think I’m stuck on Emmeline.
These are wonderful names! And I did think about moving it to a middle as a compromise for us
I really love Cosette, grace and Sophie đź©·
haha makes sense! [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is gorgeous, so I understand why you’re stuck on it! I think moving it to the middle name is a great compromise, even if it hurts a little bit 
I’m sure you both will find a name you love that works well with [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. Wishing you the best!
I love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] “Emma”!

I was actually just looking at this name in the SSA charts and was surprised to find it ranked #948! I knew it wasn’t common, but didn’t realize it was rare.
Hopefully you can convince him on a middle name, especially if you feel you can use it as an honor to you or your family 
I’d bring it up again in a couple months so see how he feels, especially if you share some name combos with it. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband took some time to warm up to names, then ended up loving them later on his own.
I also love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] (though the -leen prn is my fav), and I really wanted to use it for a girl with [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] as a sometimes nickname, but we realized the last syllable slant rhymes our last name, so we don’t think we can use it for a first or middle 
So I hope you get to use it for a middle! It’s a beautiful name that feels so elegant and classic

It’s a very sweet name. I love that it would honor your family. But yes, if your husband doesn’t love it, it may need to end up in the middle spot.

[name_f]Girl[/name_f] I know how you feel! [name_f]My[/name_f] hubby loves to veto some of my faves! (like Fauna) How would you guys feel about [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]? That name is so cute and maybe a compromise that still gets you [name_f]Emma[/name_f] in the first name spot.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Olivette[/name_f] came to mind for you 
Awwww fauna is so cute!!
His parents dog’s name is [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] 
but I do like that name
Aw dang it! Honestly just keep bringing it up over and over lol til he starts to warm to it because Emmeline is so so pretty
Emmeline Olive is so pretty 
Yes I keep doing it hoping he changes his mind and throw out off the wall names so it is more appealing
I really love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and its variations. Our nieces name is [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] so I def would consider it as a middle name if I can’t have it as a first name
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] Olivienne
And @Greyblue mentioned [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] and I absolutely love the flow of that name (took me a little bit to pronounce the name correctly )
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] is gorgeous!
I think the name is beautiful but as your husband isn’t feeling the name I would move to the middle name slot so you can find a name you both love.
