Welcome to Nameberry, and congratulations! How exciting
While I much prefer [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] to [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] (it’s less trendy and more of an everlasting classic), I don’t think [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] are easy to say together. It feels like a tongue-twister when I say it out loud! I know you’ll have the nicknames (which are so lovely) but if you ever have to call their full names out together it might become a bit of a hassle.
I’d therefore cast my vote for [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Emmy[/name_f]’ & [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Maddy[/name_f]’. [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] both have distinctive sounds, are easy to say together in full and nickname form, and both feel sweet and warm. [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] is quite a trendy spelling of the name, whereas [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] has been used for centuries, so if I were you I might spell it [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] or something more ‘classical’ - but that could cause a mah-duh-line (as opposed to ma-duh-lynn) mispronunciation.

[name_f]Eveline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f] (strikes a nice balance between [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f])

I think [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] flows better than [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f]. So…
My favourite combos would be,
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] & [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Emmy[/name_f] & [name_f]Lily[/name_f]’
followed by,
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] & [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Emmy[/name_f] & [name_f]Della[/name_f]’
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] & [name_f]Rosanna[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Emmy[/name_f] & [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]’
Good luck!
