What combo would you do for the first and middle name?
The last name we were pregnant we were set on the name [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], but then we had a boy ([name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]). Since our last pregnancy, my mom unexpectedly passed away and I was hoping to do something to honor her. She loved the name [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], but I kinda wanted to do something more direct. She was a writer and whenever she wrote a book she signed it with her pen name and a drawing of a purple rose, thus [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Also her dad’s name was [name_u]Emory[/name_u]. I love the name [name_u]Emory[/name_u] as a middle name but not so much as a first name (my oldest’s name is [name_u]Emmett[/name_u].)
Please help!

[name_u]Emery[/name_u] makes the name [name_u]Emory[/name_u] look more girlie. I like it.

So sorry for your lost. Both sounds darling. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] sounds more fresh, and I wouldn’t worry about [name_u]Emory[/name_u] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] sounding similar bc [name_u]Emory[/name_u] is the middle name. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] sounds pretty too.
Rosalie [name_u]Emory[/name_u]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u]
[name_f]Rosette[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u]

I would go with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] & [name_u]Emory[/name_u] are a little close – though I suppose it wouldn’t be too big of a deal in the middle spot. Still, [name_u]Emory[/name_u] doesn’t really honor your mother as directly as [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would.
Another option is combining [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and using [name_u]Emory[/name_u] in the middle: [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u].
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this could help!

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is such a beautiful way to honor your mother, I’m so sorry for your loss.
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is gorgeous, and it seems like both you and your mom loved it. Maybe [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] could work?
I’m normally not a big fan of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] in the middle, but here the meaning behind it is so beautiful, and I think it flows nicely with [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] too!
You could also go with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], which is very pretty as well.
Another option that came to mind, was combining [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_u]Emory[/name_u] to get [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] would be beautiful!
It’s much more of a stretch, but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_u]Emory[/name_u] combined reminded me of [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]!
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] is gorgeous too, but I really love the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] association with your mom. Maybe [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] or [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] could work! [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] would also be pretty!
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Evrose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f], and [name_u]Rosen[/name_u] are all pretty forms of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] too, if you don’t like [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]!
Also, you said your mom used a purple rose. Maybe something like Evangeline Violet? Or Evangeline Violet Rosaline? Though you may not want to use two middles if your other children only have one.
Sorry this was all over the place!!! Good luck!

I agree with pp that [name_u]Emory[/name_u] seems like a less direct honor for your mom. I would do either [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], both of which are lovely. I’d allow nickname preference to decide the order for me. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]?
That actually helped a lot. I do not like the nickname [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Evie[/name_f]!

I like [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] for you! Maybe [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] too? I also love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. I agree that you should use [name_u]Emory[/name_u] as a middle and not a first. What was your mom’s name? Would you consider using it or something similar?
I’m so sorry for your loss. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] seems like such a lovely way to honor your mom. I think either [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be beautiful! I really like [name_u]Emory[/name_u], too, but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] just seems so perfect in this case. I do like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] though! I also really like @regionlatbest’s idea of combining some of the names–e.g. [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] from [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_u]Emory[/name_u], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] from [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_u]Emory[/name_u], etc. Overall, I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] would get my vote, but since you love [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] might work even better. Good luck!

I feel like [name_f]Evie[/name_f] could maybe work as a nickname for [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], too?!
Have you considered a double middle? [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] would be lovely and honoring of your mother on multiple levels.

I love the names [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_u]Emory[/name_u]! For [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], I would use [name_f]Cora[/name_f] as a middle name. If you want to use [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name, [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] could be a beautiful middle name, but you could also use [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a middle name for [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].

Since your mother loved the name [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], I feel like you should still use it! She loved it, and you love it, so it’s probably worth keeping! [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be stunning!
I love this suggestion! So spunky, yet feminine!
[name_u]Emory[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] in of itself is a darling combination. And if you’re down for long names, I think [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is totally stunning! I say have your cake and eat it too haha

I believe [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be absolutely perfect for you! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] would be stunning too.
[name_u]Emory[/name_u] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] are a little similar, but it could work as a middle name. However, I prefer the elegance and delicacy of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f].
I personally love doing two middle names. I think [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Emory[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] sounds beautiful! Usually I shy away from alliteration, but not in this case. This would definitely be my vote. I wonder if you would like to use [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]/Rosemarie/Rose [name_u]Marie[/name_u] as a way of blending [name_u]Emory[/name_u] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] together? You could also go with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] to represent the purple.
Evangeline [name_u]Emory[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
I’m also curious if you’ve considered using part of your mother’s pen name. I think this is a wonderful way to honor her. Good luck!
