Totally Indecisive!!! I can't choose a middle name! Help! :)

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! :slight_smile:

  • [name]Emma[/name] [name]Whitney[/name]
  • [name]Emma[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
  • [name]Emma[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
  • [name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]
  • [name]Emma[/name] [name]Madelyn[/name]/[name]Madalyn[/name]/[name]Madeline[/name]
  • [name]Emma[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]

[name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] has a nice flow to it.

[name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] flows the best with your last name. Second choice is [name]Emma[/name] [name]Violet[/name].

I like [name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] [name]Violet[/name]

I agree - [name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] is just beautiful!

I like [name]Emma[/name] [name]Whitney[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name].

[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!

[name]Emma[/name] [name]Violet[/name] is realy cute. That one gets my vote.

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!

[name]Lemon[/name]

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 love the name [name]Emma[/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:

[name]Emma[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Gabrielle[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Verity[/name]
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Vivian[/name]

I love [name]Emma[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]. My second pick would be [name]Emma[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. Good luck!!

[name]Emma[/name] [name]Madelyn[/name] or [name]Emma[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. They are both gorgeous combinations.

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!
