Emmeline

I posted earlier about using Emilia to honor a relative named Emily. What about Emmeline? Yay, nay, meh? Which name do you prefer?

I didn't see your earlier post, but I prefer Emilia.

I know a 6 year old Emmeline. I love her name! Her momma calls her Emme and her dad calls her Eli. [Eh-Lee, doesn't sound like the boy's name Eli.]

I love both.  I think I would pick Emmeline slightly over Emilia since Amelia has been gaining popularity.

I think Emmeline is very pretty, so I would go with that one.

I didn't see the original post, but in order of preference, I like Emily, then Emilia, then Emmeline.

I love Emmeline. I knew an Emmeline when I was little and always remember that name as being adorable.

Emmeline for sure. 

 

I am all about the Anne of Green Gables connected names :-)

I forgot about the AoGG connection. Thanks for the reminder.

Yay! I prefer Emmeline to all of those choices.

I obviously love Emmeline .  It is my DD's name.  I love it because it is an old name and it is never used, so she won't be one of 5 Emmelines in her class growing up.  I also think Emilia is pretty, but I prefer Emmeline.

I really like Emmeline.

I really like both, but I think Emmeline is "closer" to Emily (assuming you use the "--leen" pronunciation).

Both are lovely choices, but I give the slight advantage to Emmeline. It's just so feminine and girly!

I love Emmeline!  One of my favorites.  Definitely prefer -line to -leen, though.

Me too.  DD is "line" although we've heard "leen" from a few people.

LOVE Emmeline, it was my top girl choice!!!  (w/ the "-line" pronunciation).  DH's stupid ex-FI was Emily though, so that got nixed...

I like Emilia the best.

Love Emmeline - so cute.

I love Emmeline.  I prefer the leen pronunciation since that's the French pronunciation, but line is pretty too.  It's one of our top contenders (with potential nn of Millie).  I like it better because it eliminates the MEAL part of Emilia which I don't care for (even though I think Emilia looks so lovely written).

This is our daughter's name, and we love it of course. It's an E name not in the top 1000 and has French ties which makes me happy. We pronounce it Emme LIEN, but the correct, French pronunciation is Emme LEEN. (Think Josephine). I just tell people we used the American, bastardized pronunciation...I've only met one person who met enough Emmelines to know the correct way to say it.

I still like Emilia though, and I can see going either way.
