Baby names

Emilie-XXX ???

I will be having our baby girl in 5 weeks and we'd decided on her name, Emilie-Rose

However... I personally like Emilie-Paige better, but can't seem to win hubby round on that one Sad

So, I need ideas as to what would go with Emilie as a hyphenated name...? Smile

Emilie-Rose wins there for me, not a fan of Paige at all I'm afraid. How about Grace? Emilie is lovely on its own though I think.

Emilie-rose here too. I don't like Paige either. How about emilie-Eve or Emilie-May?

I don't think hyphenated names but Emilie is lovely Smile Rose does go with it better than Paige tbh

I'd go for Emilie Rose (no hyphen). It's lovely.

I don't like hyphenated names but of the two Emily-Rose goes best. Not a fan of the Emilie spelling.

I'd go with Emily Rose as 1st and middle names if it were me.

I don't like hyphenated names.

Emilie is fine as it stands.

Emilie Rose is classic.

Paige...no.

Emily Rose is nice. I like Emily Jane too.

Hyphens are irritating! There are so many hyphen rose names too. Emily Jane is a great suggestionas she can be called EJ too!

Please drop the hyphen. Emilie is already a bit too cutesy but adding a hyphen is just too much. Children don't need two first names, it's really unnecessary and looks like you are naming a kitten rather than an adult woman.

I meant to say Emily is much nicer than emilie also Rose is so over used as a Middle name.

Can't really drop the hyphen, as my boys are Joseph-Alex and Mason-Riley, so need to continue the theme, so to speak! Wink

You could break the tradition, I'm sure she won't mind.

Do you actually always call them by both parts of their hyphenated names?

Oh give over you lot ... My DD is 16 and has a hyphenated first name. It's very unusual as well, to boot. She loves it and she is called the first part of it generally but uses all of it for social media / nickname purposes.

Honestly, it's no biggie! My DS just has the one name. The OP can do what she likes without all the thinly disguised snobby comments.

I like the name Emilie but I prefer the Emily spelling. Emily Charlotte is nice

Hyphens always make me think that parents couldn't reach a compromise so went with a favourite from each.

I prefer Emilie Rose to Emilie Paige.

Hyphenated names are awful. Please just call her one or the other. She will thank you for it when she's older.

Although there is a film called the Exorcism Of Emily Rose so maybe not!

Gileswithachainsaw · 08/01/2015 13:25

Was about to say it's a film too.

Although that wouldn't bother me I have demon children

what's wrong with Emily. The other way makes your eyes go funny looking at it.

I dislike hyphenated names too and think Emilie is lovely on its own. I know an Emily-Rose but very few people address her as the full name

I know an Emily-Beth, so Emilie-Beth would work.
