Girl name survey

So which do you think flows better?

 Kimber  Leigh

or

Emma Leigh

I liked Emma until i found out it had been in the top 10 list of names for like 5 years, now I think i am leaning towards Kimber.  We also like how the 2 names are actually pronounced as 1 name

Re: Girl name survey

  • I really like Emma.
  • Leigh.. like lee? or lee ah?  (Just because I've none 2 people same spellings with different pronunciations..)
  • Loading the player...
  • Emma.  Whe I hear Kimber I think of the slutty girl on Nip Tuck who had the blow up doll modeled after her.

  • Emma Leigh- but will you call her by both names? So most people will think her name is Emily?
  • My question is the same - will you always pronounce the Leigh?  If so, I would prefer just Kimberly or Emily.  I am not a fan of Kimber on its own - just sounds like "Tiiiimmmmberrrr!" Of the two, I prefer Emma Leigh.

    It's pronounced Lee.  Like Kimberly and Emily

  • I like Kimber, very different.  I agree Emma is very common, but a very pretty name too.  I don't want my kids to have 5 other kids in their class with the same name though

    See that kinda thing is good to know.  I dont watch nip tuck and if I have a girl i dont want that kind of association.

  • Hmm interesting. I think Emma would be my choice.
  • Emma

    Kimber with a middle name Leigh sounds like you chopped Kimberly in half because you couldn't think of a middle name.

  • If you like the name Kimber don't make the middle name Leigh.  That's a joke.
  • I would prefer Kimberly or Emily, myself.  If you want to go the unusual route, I'd go all the way, not just a different spelling...do whatever floats your boat.

    We just call her Emma or Kimber

  • Emma although I think the name is WAY overused.

    Kimber Leigh just sounds like a bad attempt at modernizing Kimberly.

  • Kimber on it's own is bad.

    Kimber with a middle name Leigh sounds like you chopped Kimberly in half because you couldn't think of a middle name.

    Ditto. I think Emma is a really pretty name. If you want to use Kimber, I'd suggest just going with Kimberly and coming up with an alternate middle name.

    Would you actually call her "Kimber/Emma Leigh" or just "Kimber/Emma"?

  • My last name is Lee, so I would've loved to name my daughter Emma, but DH and I didn't like that it sounded like her name was "Emily." We are using the name "Ella" for a middle name instead since Ella and Lee stand alone. But, if you like them flowing together as one, I vote Emma- I'm a Nip/Tuck addict, but I HATE the character Kimber.

  • Emma Leigh sounds just like Emily

    Kimber Leigh sounds just like Kimberly

    i dont really like either with the leigh middle name

  • I've always liked Emma... it is timeless.  I too watch Nip/Tuck and the name Kimber reminds me of that character. 

    Kimber is also the name of a handgun and firearm manufacturer... DH dreams of getting a Kimber, so I bet he'd like that name lol.

  • emma.

    kimber leigh just sounds weird.

  • I like either name by itself, but IMO using either with that middle name would be tacky. I knew a girl named Kate Lynn once; it was the same type of thing and everyone teased her. If you really like the sound of Emily and Kimberly, do your baby a favor and just choose one of those. You could still shorten it to Emma or Kimber just as a NN if you want.

  • Emma is much better
  • I don't like either.

    Kimberly is better than Kimber Leigh OR Kimberleigh ::shudder::. Emma is too popular, IMO.

    Good thing you have a lot of time left to still decide.

  • I don't like either, sorry.
  • definitely Emma Leigh. The first one is NMS at all...personally if I had to use the first one then i would combine it into one first name and use something else as a mn...like Kimberly as Kimberleigh then add a mn...

    EDIT: i just realized that the Emma one is like Emily...yikes...sorry, i dont like either when used like that...

  • I like Emma but Kimber sounds like a boys name to me.
  • I like Kimber but yes, it's a throw back to Nip/Tuck for me. Emma is beautiful but common.
  • The name Emma has been popular since the late 1800's. Personally, I don't like the name Kimber. So I say go with Emma.

  • I like Emma Leigh better.
