Middle names which go with Emily?

I'm 20 weeks with a little girl and we're pretty sure we're going to call her Emily Smile. However we're a bit stuck on a middle name. Neither of our Mums' names go with it and I don't think my other favourite names, Isabel or Annabel, do either. I'm not a big fan of May / Maye. Any ideas anyone? I like fairly traditional names.

*Josephine
*Katherine
*Vivienne

So in 6 months time at the Christening,
"I name this child, Emily *Vivienne Mumsnetter."

Congratulations!

Emily Rose is definitely my favourite

I would avoid any names that end with the e soud for a middle name as this will soud too much.
As Emily has 3 syllables, what about a shorter, 1 syllable name?
Emily Rose
Emily Grace
Emily Beth
Emily Belle
Emily Fern
Emily Jade
Emily Kate
Emily Paige - personal favorite
Emily Ann/Anne
Emily Jess
Congrats and los of healthy pregnany wishes to you!

Ooh Rose, hadn't thought of that one, thank you! I had considered Jane too, it's my mum's middle name as well so bonus points but I just wondered if it was a bit plain. It's definitely on the shortlist though!

I think loads go with Emily, it'll be more difficult norrowing it down! What's the first letter and how many syllables will her surname have?

You're right, Grace sounds lovely! I really like the name. I have a good friend called Grace though which is the only thing which puts me off (I really like her, just feels weird sort of naming the baby after a friend!)
