I voted for [name_f]Emma[/name_f]. I don’t really like the [name_f]Madilyn[/name_f] spelling, I love [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] though.
I think you can which ever spelling you like, even with an honour name 
I like the sound of [name_f]Madilyn[/name_f] more than [name_f]Emma[/name_f], but not this spelling. You can honor by using initials as well, so I think [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] works well to honor [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]. You could take it a step further and use the same middle initial too, like [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] for [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f].
