    Emelia Dawn, totally.

    And yeah I would spell it with an A. A names are the best and get preferential treatment from teachers since you're always top of the list.

    The only one I can pronounce is Emelia. So that one.

    Emelia I suppose. I like Elliotte okay with the e on the end but Wyatte with an e at the end makes absolutely no sense.

    I think Elliotte is cute, but agree it is traditionally a boys name (minus the e on the end). If that's not an issue than I'd use it. Otherwise I'd go with Emilia.

    Emelia. The others she is going to have to repeatedly explain/spell her whole life.

    Emelia Dawn hands down. Although I would spell it Amelia, unless you were actually going for Emilia? 


    In any case, Elliotte and Wyatte are pretty terrible. It looks like you really, really wanted a boy and that is not fair to your daughter.

    Elliott was our name we had picked for a boy. However, I love it for a girl. I'm just weird about spellings because I'm a teacher and think names shouldn't have funky spellings.

    Emelia definitely! Elliotte is cute (a little different, never met a girl named Elliot). However, Wyatte doesn't seem feminine at all :(

    Emelia, preferable Emilia (which my phone tried to autocorrect it to), but I like Amelia even more. No no no no to the other two... the fact that they are primarily boy names is annoying enough, and the spellings are just salt in the wound.

    Sincerely,
    A teacher with a handful of students each year that struggle with both of those problems and are constantly frustrated by it!

    Amelia! It's classic and beautiful and not overly popular.

    Amelia! None of the names you listed are real names. Why are you trying to randomly spell normal names differently?? I couldn't even guess at how to pronounce the first 2.

    Elliotte Liliya!!

    The -tte ending is actually very feminine (as that is its exact purpose in French). Obviously you can't expect everyone to know French, but there's nothing wrong with using their traditions! Aren't we supposed to be a melting pot anyway?? We are using Italian names for our twins. :)

    ETA: It ocurred to me that you might not be from the US like me. If that is the case, I officially extend the right of melting pot inclusion to you lol. ;P

    Yeah, Elliotte is sooooo French. There's tons of little Elliottes running around France.

    Oh wait, no there's not. Because Elliot isn't French, it's English and the French have so many great feminine names they don't feel a need to misspell a masculine name and slap it on a girl.

    Lol. I just meant that the -tte suffix is a French morpheme that makes nouns feminine (more generally, it's an -e, but I assumed very few would care to know the linguistic explanation and how this suffix would specifically be applied to this particular word based on its phonological and morphological properties... I understand/ respect that most people are not interested in what I got one of my degrees in lol).

    I just like to pick and choose from various languages. To each his own. It's not my kid. :)

    My grandma is named after her father, Darrow, and her name is Darolene. I didn't like it when I was a kid, but now It has grown on me, especially when I learned how her parents came up with the name. Names like Shannon and Ashley used be masculine names, and more recently names like Addison and Madison have been borrowed from the list of male names and are now used primarily for girls, using a name like Wyatte or Elliotte is not much different. However, Emelia Dawn is my lovely and my favorite among the three.

    I love Emelia :) The others are adorable too! I think it all comes down to what you and your significant other love though. Don't let others discourage you on the names you've picked. Personally having a 'boy' name i've always gotten compliments on it...and no, I've NEVER thought my parents wanted a boy instead of a girl. Good luck with your decision! :) Sounds like you have some good choices :)
