Hello Ladies, my name is [name]Sam[/name] and I am 7 months pregnant with my first child, a baby girl. My hubby and I are really excited, and luckily we had no problem choosing a first name. We decided on [name]Emma[/name] pretty much right away. But, we cannot choose a middle name! So, here are the names we are considering, any advice, suggestions, and opinions would be greatly appreciated! Also, our last name is Cline. Thanks for your help!
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] both have really good flow. There’s something really cute about [name]Emma[/name] [name]Whitney[/name] though!
I think you’ll find some of those sound alot prettier if you use [name]Emma[/name] as the middle name. You can still call her [name]Emma[/name]… [name]Plenty[/name] of people call children by their middle name.
[name]Emma[/name] Cline is very pretty! [name]Whitney[/name] seems a little dated, so it wouldn’t be my first choice; [name]Willow[/name] is pretty and on-trend, but something about [name]Emma[/name] [name]Willow[/name] Cline doesn’t flow perfectly to me; [name]Violet[/name] shares the same strong vowel sound as your last name, so I don’t love that; [name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] has excellent flow and is classic and elegant, so I like that; [name]Emma[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] has too much M; and [name]Emma[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name] is very pretty and perhaps my favorite!
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] Cline or [name]Emma[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name] Cline get my vote!
My favorite from your list is [name]Emma[/name] [name]Willow[/name]! I think [name]Catherine[/name] looks softer than the hard ‘K’. [name]Emma[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] would be my pick. Some other combo’s I like are:
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Jocelyn[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Sage[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]/[name]Isabelle[/name]/[name]Isobel[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Nadine[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Kate[/name](Seems to flow better than [name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name])
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Laine[/name]/[name]Lane[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Holly[/name]
I like [name]Emma[/name] [name]Willow[/name] best, followed by [name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]. Depends on if you want something more ethereal or more classic.
Honestly, I don’t really like any of them. I mean, the names are great, but they just don’t flow well with [name]Emma[/name] in my opinion. Some suggestions:
thanks for all the replies! i never thought it would be so difficult to choose a name! emma katherine was the first choice i thought of because my grandmothers name was katherine. i also like it because i thought since emma and cline are both shorter and have less syllables they sound better with a longer 3 syllable name in the middle. anyway, i really appreciate all the help!
