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

It's pronounced Lee. Like Kimberly and Emily
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.
Emma
Kimber with a middle name Leigh sounds like you chopped Kimberly in half because you couldn't think of a middle name.
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.
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
LOL! I think of my sister's slutty MIL. yes, I said MIL
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 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.
ditto ?

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...

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.
