Baby Names

Emmeline

What do you think of Emmeline with my current sib set and given the popularity of Emma / Emily?

Current DDs are:  Cl.aire, Ch.arlotte, and Han.nah

Other names on our current list:  Helena, Elena, Isabel, Nora(h), and Sarah

 

Thanks for any input.

Re: Emmeline

  • I think the name is just ok, and that you will wind up calling her Emmy/ Emma.

    Much prefer the other names on your list!  I think for your sibset I like Sarah best.  GL!

  • I like Emmeline a lot (was on our girl list if DS had been a girl). It's fallen off my list but I still think it's pretty. One of my big hang ups was the glut of Emmas/Emmies/etc that I was afraid it would be lumped in with.

     It is not the same name or pronunciation as Emmalyn, btw.

  • Thanks for the feedback.  I have always loved the name Emma, but don't want to use it due to popularity (ironic, I know, since I have a Charlotte).  That is why I was entertaining Emmeline.  Plus I just love "old fashioned" names.

    Picking a name for our fourth daughter is seriously stressing me out... LOL.

  • I love the name Nora(h)!! It is such a classic name. Evelyn is kind of close to Emmeline.
  • Evelyn is actaully on our list as well, but I am just not loving it as much as the others on the list (today). 

    Maybe she'll come out looking like a little Evelyn. We always wait until we meet the little lady to pick a name.

  • I think that it would be a fine addition to your subset, but it definitely gets lumped in with the Emmas and Emilys.

  • Maybe Caroline or Madeline might be fitting substitutions for Emmeline?

  • I love Nora. I know of several babies named Emmalynn/Emalyn/Emmeline, most of them are called Emmy. I just can't get on board with it.
  • Absolutely adore it!!!
  • Sarah Isabel.

  • I think it is kinda perfect with your sibset! Even though it is similar to Emma, I don't think it has to get shortened to Emma/Emmy.

    I like it a lot.

  • Thanks ladies.

    The other hesitation I have is that Emmeline would have a cousin, Emily that we see every 3 months or so.  I am okay with that similarity, but would others side eye?

    Ben Folds has a song called Emaline, which is what I think of, but not in a bad way. I think Emily and Emmeline are different enough.
