I think my DH and I have decided on first names for our girls, still deciding though. We think our final decision is [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] (pronounced leen not line) and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. We are stuck on middle names though! We really like shorter middle names to compensate with the long first names. We would like one of the middle names to be [name_f]Mary[/name_f]/[name_f]Maria[/name_f] (family name is [name_f]Mary[/name_f] but prefer [name_f]Maria[/name_f] as we have spanish connections) but we aren’t sure which name it fits better with. We don’t have any ideas as to the other middle name so any help would be appreciated!
As you can see all our girls have nicknames that pretty much everyone calls them including teachers at school etc… For [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] we were thinking of nicknames [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Evie[/name_f] but as we would be calling them that every day if it is a bit matchy or sing songy. Not a fan of [name_f]Gen[/name_f] for [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] has anybody got any other ideas for nicknames for either of them?
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] sounds best to me, but [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] works too, if you find one you love more for [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
(If you’re open to creative ones, something like [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] could be [name_f]Emmylou[/name_f], [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] could be [name_f]Essie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] could be [name_f]Effi[/name_f])
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]!! For nicknames what about [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f]? That work well together but I don’t think they are too matchy. Or if you love [name_f]Emma[/name_f], what about [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Gigi[/name_f]? [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] would also be cute :).
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] works well in my opinion! For her sister what about [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]? [name_f]Maria[/name_f] means “wished for child” and [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] means “God’s answer”. I think that creates a nice connection between the two without being overly matchy.
Here’s a few suggestions for both.
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the meaning behind [name_f]Maria[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]! If I can persuade DH that it’s adorable then I think we have our girls names! Thank you so much!
