Girl name dilemma

elyshaswedding

We have a boy name picked out (Grady) but have just been tossing around girl's names.  DH likes Grace, Emma, and Charlotte, but I would like something a little bit different yet still old fashioned.  So I found Emmeline and proposed it to DH.  He isn't 100% sure but likes the idea of calling the baby Emma as a nn if it is a girl...here's the question: if we call her Emma, should we spell it Emmaline or Emmeline?  TIA!

I would probably still use Emmeline since I think that is the more traditional spelling.  Both are nice though!

How do you want the legal name pronounced?

Emmaline is not pronounced the same way as Emmeline.

I would pronounce it Emma-line (rhymes with fine).  What would the other pronunciation be, Emma-lynn?  Good call!

I LOVE the name Emmaline!  I'm not a fan of nick names though and esp. not uber popular ones like Emma or it else it would be on the top of my list.  I am not sure how the other pronunciation sounds??  Would love to know.

I would also spell it the traditional way.  No need to change the spelling for the nn

I love the name! I usually spell it Emeline, actually, though. I think it goes great as a sibling name for Lilah

Emmaline - Em-ma - leen

Emmeline -  Emm- eh - leen

That's how I would pronounce thest two.

My friend has a little girl named Emmeline pronounced Emma-line. I think Emmeline is the traditional spelling, but a lot of people mispronounce it.

I like Grace, Emma or Charlotte a lot more.
