Baby Names

Girl name

Emmalyn Alexa...

Alexander is her daddy's mn so Alexa is after him.

We have basically already decided, but has Emmalyn become popular too? I know Emma is (obviously) but I've never heard of anyone being named it themselves except on Army Wives.

Re: Girl name

  • Personally I don't like Emmalyn.  And apparently I've never met anyone who likes it enough to name their child because I've never met an Emmalyn before.  So if you're worried about popularity, don't.
  • I've never heard of an Emmalyn either.  It sounds a bit made up.  Emmaline is a perfectly lovely similar name.

  • I don't like your spelling Emmalynn looks more balanced with the doubling of the 'm' and 'n.' I'm also not a huge fan. I'd prefer Emma Lynn Alexa with 2 MNs. Emma looks more grown up to me for an adult.

  • Emmalyn just looks like you took a popular name and added the suffix "lyn" to make it more unique. which is an annoying trend going on right now.

    Emmeline looks much better and you could pronounce it the same way if you want (though people would probably have to be correct a lot)

  • Not a fan of Emmalyn.

  • Yeah, Emmalyn is a trendy smoosh name to me.  I like just Emma.

  • I don't like the sound of it. I like what the others have suggested "Emmaline" or just "Emma". Alexa is a beautiful name, maybe you could use that as the FN. 

    GL!

    ITA. Spelled the second way, though, I actually think it's a really pretty name. Good luck!
