I would go with [name]Emmeline[/name], personally. Beautiful and vintage, and an unusual enough name (hasn’t been in the top 1000 in the US for the last ten years) that you don’t need to confuse the spelling to make it seem more unique.

[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Helena[/name] is a lovely name! Other options could be [name]Emerald[/name] or [name]Emmanuelle[/name].

Good luck! [name]Auburn[/name]

[name]Emmeline[/name] all the way.

[name]Emmaline[/name] is very pretty. I have a friend with this name (26) and we call her [name]Emmy[/name] sometimes. I have also heard it pronounced/spelled as [name]Emmalin[/name]/[name]Emmalyn[/name].
[name]Emery[/name] and [name]Emerson[/name] are also nice options.

I think [name]Emmi[/name] could also be a cute nn for [name]Amelia[/name] or [name]Amalie[/name].

[name]Emmeline[/name]

As far as I know, [name]Emmeline[/name] is the only legitimate spelling of the name. The others look very tryndeigh, so I didn’t vote. What about [name]Emilia[/name] or [name]Emiliana[/name]?

7

I agree. [name]Emmeline[/name] is the best choice (or sometimese spelt [name]Emeline[/name]). I don’t think you will get the pronunciation you are looking for with [name]Emelyne[/name]. I would have pronounced it ‘[name]Emma[/name]-[name]Lynn[/name]’.

I, actually, really responded to [name]Emmalyse[/name]. I have never seen it before, but knew immediately how to pronounce it. [name]Even[/name] though it is probably original, it doesn’t have a made-up feel to me. I do enjoy different names, but not off-the-wall. [name]Emmalyse[/name] seems the perfect compromise. (Note: I am also attracted to [name]Emmeline[/name]/[name]Emeline[/name].)

Another vote for [name]Emmeline[/name] - no offense, but those names look made up.

10

I think [name]Emmeline[/name] is probably your best bet. You could also go with [name]Emilia[/name] or [name]Emerson[/name].

11

I’m not set on any particular spelling, just concerned about pronunciation and what goes best with [name]Helena[/name]. I do like [name]Emmaline[/name]/ [name]Emmeline[/name]. [name]Emmalyse[/name]/ Emmalise was suggested as an alternative to [name]Annalise[/name], which we (including the sibs) like but really want “[name]Emmi[/name]” not “[name]Annie[/name]” for nn. Thanks!

I think that the best suggestion made was [name]Emmeline[/name]–it’s obviously the sort of sound that you’re looking for, but the name’s legit.
Other great suggestions:
[name]Emmanuelle[/name].
[name]Emiliana[/name].
[name]Amelia[/name].

Some more ideas:
[name]Esmeralda[/name]
[name]Ember[/name]
[name]Jemima[/name]/[name]Jemma[/name]/[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Poem[/name], [name]Remember[/name] & Memory (for word names…[name]Poem[/name] and [name]Remember[/name] are actually quite growing on me)
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Demetria[/name]
[name]Euphemia[/name]
[name]Emmylou[/name] (a rare combo that I am open to)
[name]Noemie[/name]
[name]Demelza[/name]
Lemley
[name]Remington[/name]
Pemberley
[name]Temperance[/name]
[name]Tempest[/name]
[name]Temple[/name]
[name]Zemora[/name]

[name]Emmi[/name] is such a cute nn! I like the spellings [name]Emme[/name], [name]Emmie[/name] and [name]Emmy[/name] a lot, too. Have y’all considered those at all? Good luck with the name choosing.

P.S. [name]Do[/name] you have any other kids yet? If you’d care to tell, that might help with the naming process. (:

We have 2 sibs for our baby. A boy, [name]Robert[/name] LaRoy (nn [name]Bobby[/name]), who was named after his grandfather. And a girl, [name]Megan[/name] [name]Alexis[/name] (nn [name]Meg[/name]/ [name]Meggie[/name]), who was named for a dear friend. The baby’s planned middle name, [name]Helena[/name], is a combo of our grandmothers’ middle names. So we hope to have [name]Bobby[/name], [name]Meggie[/name] and [name]Emmi[/name]. Cutesy I know but they are little and don’t have a say in their nn’s yet!

14

I like [name]Emmeline[/name], but only with this spelling.

15

What about [name]Jemima[/name]?

16

With full names [name]Robert[/name] and [name]Megan[/name], I think [name]Jemima[/name] works best.
[name]Jemima[/name] [name]Helena[/name]? (:

17

I like [name]Emmaline[/name] (pronounced [name]Emma[/name]-leen). My name is [name]Emily[/name] [name]Helen[/name] - love that you are picking something similar!

[name]Emmanuelle[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Emerald[/name]
[name]Jemima[/name]
[name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Ember[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Poem[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Emery[/name]

[name]Isabel[/name]

I am considering [name]Emiliana[/name] for our first daughter. I would like to call her [name]Emmi[/name] for short. I also am considering [name]Keira[/name] . I have 3 boys…
[name]Tyler[/name] [name]Stephen[/name]
Tobyn [name]Xavior[/name]
[name]Rory[/name] [name]Francis[/name]

I was wondering what would go well for a middle name.
