Emmalise?

What are your opinions on the name Emmalise?  I personally love it, but not sure if it sounds made up.  It seems like it would be an old-fashioned name, but apparently it's fairly new...

    it reminds me of amylase... or rather, enzymes in general because "ase" is the most common enzyme suffix... I know "ase" and "ise" are pronounced differently, but "emmalise" just reminds me of an enzyme....

    I think it also sounds a bit forced/made up....

    I've never heard of it before. It's cool that she could have Emma or alise as a nick name. I like the spelling Alyse also.

    If you're concerned with it being made up I know a girl with first name Emma middle name Leigh
    Emma Leigh
    I love that she can be Emma or Emily sounding

    Good luck

    I think it sounds too made up. What about Emmeline?

    My thought is new because it's made up. So, no.

    Sounds like an enzyme to me as other people already said. Also a bit made up.

    I'd go with Emmeline or Annalise. Both Emma and Anna are equally sweet, though Anna will stand more.

    If you google this name you will find it on German Name websites. It is an old German name. Google also brings up several German adults with this name, one in particular is a famous author.

    I have a niece named Elise. This sounds like a butchered version of her name. Emma and Elise are gorgeous in their own right. I say don't over complicate them by smushing them together.

    That makes sense. But unless the OP has a German connection, I don't think its a great choice. It's the kind of name that is best used with a story/special connection IMO.

    Yes, thank you.   

     I'm always surprised at what people on here automatically assume is made up.

    It sounds too made up to me, like someone couldn't choose between Annalise and Emmalin. I don't like it.

    It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.

    This. It sounds completely made up.

    How about Emmeline instead?


    I agree.

    Interesting. In that case I would assume its pronounced Emmalisa. In German the "e" at the end of the name wouldn't be silent.
    yes you are right, it is pronounced  Emma-leez-ah
