I think the name looks very pretty written down but am ashamed to say as I've never heard it allowed I have no idea how it is pronounced. Assume Emm-a-leen? Help!

Absolutely love it! Yes Emma-leen. Awesome name with a great history.

I know someone who was an Emmeline. She changed her name by deed poll so she isn't any more!

I think it's a lovely name and a great, inspiring person to be named after. It is pronounced Emma-line

Absolutely love it, really wanted it for Dd1 but DH wasn't keen. I really regret not pushing a bit harder to use it. It's such a pretty and unusual name.

I've only heard it in Anne of green gables, and I think it was pronounced as it looks, line rather then leen.
