Name Help! We're torn...

in March 2012 Moms
Ok - So as many of you know - we are locked in with Emmaline for our girl's first name.

Until recently - we were pretty set on Sienna as the middle name.  Now we're adding 2 more names to the mix and want your thoughts...

Emmaline Claire B.
Emmaline Skye B.
Emmaline Sienna B.
 
We will probably refer to her as Emma though for short. So keep that in mind.
 
Thanks March Mommies...

    Yep, Claire's the winner in my book too.

    I like Claire better because it's only one syllable and I tend to like one syllable middle names better.

    OK - 3 votes for claire.

     

    Amusing aside (if claire).  One day she might refer to herself on a business card as: 

     

    E. Claire B....

     Well that's why we brought in two more names - short and one syllable. 


    Skye and Claire.

    There's some significance to Sienna - that being a town we fell in love with on our honeymoon (although spelled Siena) in Tuscany...

    Another vote for Claire. 

    On a side note, I originally wanted to name our little one Evelina Claire (Evie Claire), but my husband vetoed it. He thought she would get teased by being referred to as "eclair". Personally, I think it's totally irrational. Most people use their first name especially on business cards.

    I like Claire too. I actually think Sienna is too much with Emmaline

     

    ETA: I do understand the sentiment though.

    Keeping the Claire vote unanimous!! I think the shortness of it balances really well with Emmaline, and Emma Claire sounds really cute too. I think Skye is pretty - but it's in a different ballpark from Emmaline. Emmaline to me is a little more old fashioned, feminine, very pretty. Skye is sort of modern and a little too granola for me to go with Emmaline. Good luck choosing!

    Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!

    I'm the odd one out, but I actually really like Emmaline Sienna better.  The only thing is it doesn't really sound right when shortened to Emma.  Just out of curiosity, how many syllables is your last name?

    No to Emmaline Skye. 

    This.  But if you are going to call her Emma ::middle name:: on a regular basis then I only like Emma Claire.

    I only wondered because I don't think Claire would be good with a one syllable last name.  I still like Emmaline Sienna, but I would use Claire if you are going to call her Emma and her middle name on a regular basis.  I like both Sienna and Claire, but I like that Sienna has some meaning to it for you.

    I love Emmaline Claire and if you intend to call her Emma, Emma Claire is frigging adorable. Emma Sienna is a little too matchy IMHO.

    Another vote for Claire! I loved it as a MN for our LO but the "eclair" thing was way too obvious with the first name we picked.

    In order of favorite to least favorite: Claire, Skye, then Sienna. But, it's really up to you guys! You say Sienna has significance, so if it's important to you, stick with it.
