Emmalyn vs Emmalynn

thoughts? Middle name would be Arline...

I'm not fond of this mix on Emma, however two Ns looks far more fussy and messy than just one.

How funny!! I JUST found this name this afternoon and was about to make a post about it. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like Emmalynn. The two double letter thing looks pretty to me!

Definitely not Emmalynn....too many double letters....

I like Emmaline (not the lynn) better. But obviously wouldn't go with your middle name suggestion.

But also not sure I'm a fan of Emmalyn Arline...seems like a mouth full.

You are right, it is sort of a mouthful. I wanted to use my grandmothers middle name, which is where the Arline comes from and wanted to do Emma, but DH doesn't like Arline and likes Emmalyn. So the compromise was to do Emmalyn Arline and I would call her Emma for short... Only now we are back and forth on the spelling of the first name. I tend to lean towards Emmalyn

i'm not a big fan of 'lyn/lynn' on any name.

what about the name emmeline? kind of a combination,

and it's a really pretty name. that's just my two-cents, though. [:

Past thread on this name.

My response:

Emma Lynn, Emmeline, or maybe Emelyn (similar to the Evelyn format). This actually comes up once a month or so, and I can't say I like people butching my kids name, but I do try to help posters get to a spelling that works.

I would prefer a double fn or two mns Emma Lynn Arline. If you are set on the smoosh name, I think there's a slight chance that people would pronounce Emmalyn as Emma-line and Emmalynn would be unlikely to cause that confusion.

We picked this name too but we are going with Emmalin Renee. Emmalin is how it is spelled on Army Wives

Emmalyn, Emmalin, Emmelin, but please do not put two Ns at the end!

Double consonants indicate syllabic emphasis--meaning you'd be spelling the pronunciation Emma-LYNN, two distinct names with the emphasis on the final syllable, if you spell it with two Ns. Since you want the Emmalyn (EMM-ah-lin) pronunciation, you should spell it with one N, regardless of how you spell the first two syllables.

I prefer Emmeline. I don't like the spellings with the Ys.
