Really love the name name Emmeline however surname if Green, and think there's too much eeee sound, would you go for Emmeline Green or
Emily Green

Such a shame as Emmeline is a lovely name, but I think you're right to have second thoughts on account of how it goes with your surname. Emily is very popular, though I think most Emilys are older. Eg my boss is Emily & she's 30.

Emily better with your surname.

Prefer emmeline but it doesn't go with your surname so Emily

Not Emma then. Emily goes better with the surname.

With the surname, Emily.

I prefer Emma. Emily is ok. I don't like Emmeline.

I prefer Emmeline. Both remind me of friends though 🙈

Emily Green is gorgeous
I don't like Emmeline - too frilly and reminds me of Invisalign braces

Yes, Emmeline Green sounds wrong whereas Emily Green is fine. I actually much prefer Emily over Emmeline anyway - it's simple yet beautiful.

Emily Green is beautiful. Whereas I like the name Emmeline I don't think it goes with the surname too well

I think your right, it just doesn't sound right. I'd either go for Emily or use it has a mn and search for a different fan.
