Emerald?

Flossingisforteeth · 07/02/2022 21:05

Emilia or Emmeline
Also love Emery or Elodie

lochmaree · 07/02/2022 21:01

I love Ember as suggested by a pp.

Also love Enya!

Emmeline is my favourite from your list.

TheGratefulBread · 07/02/2022 20:57

Emmeline is the more refreshing choice.

Emelia will constantly be confused with Emilia and Amelia.

The other I don't like the others that should be an a not an e

Emmeline or Emma

Emmy grand as a nn but not a full name.

FayCarew · 07/02/2022 17:48

Sorry, Elia is a boy's name not Ella. Ella is ok

FayCarew · 07/02/2022 17:47

Emilia - will get called Amelia a lot
Emelia - looks like you can't spell. will get called Amelia and Emilia a lot
Emily - ok
Emmeline - not keen

or
Ella - boy's name

NannyR · 07/02/2022 11:33

Emmeline is lovely, I also love Emilia. Not keen on the Emelia spelling, it looks a bit like a "trying to be creative" mishmash between Emilia and Amelia.

IzzyD0ra · 07/02/2022 11:28

Emmeline is a lovely name. The only one I would never use from that list is Ella.

Ducksurprise · 07/02/2022 11:28

Emmeline, I'm going to make you the biggest star the world has ever seen

Like it

AutumnOcean · 07/02/2022 11:26

Emmeline is gorgeous

SoftSheen · 07/02/2022 11:25

Emma, Emily or Emmeline.

Emilia is also nice but there are so many Amelias around at the moment, and they sound very similar.

OpheliaTrousersnake · 07/02/2022 11:24

Emma is a good suggestion.

Pregnant02 · 07/02/2022 11:22

How about Ember as another option?

SummaLuvin · 07/02/2022 09:10

If you are considering Emily think about how it will pronounced in your area. The region I'm from can have a lazy, letter dropping style which means Emily becomes Emm-lee, the 'I' sound completely dropped. I grew up with an Emily who hated it, but there's nothing you can really do when that's how 95% of the population of the area speak.

HPLikecraft · 07/02/2022 08:32

Emmeline.

Ceramide · 07/02/2022 08:31

Emily

PAFMO · 07/02/2022 06:06

Emmeline. Emma is also good.

There are eleventy billion people called Emily
Emelia will be misheard as Amelia or Emilia.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 07/02/2022 05:49

Emma?

LeftieLucy · 07/02/2022 05:43

I prefer Emelia from your suggestions (but prefer Amelia over that)

I’ve never heard it spoken out loud before, is it pronounced emme-leen, emme-lyn or emme-lyne?

What about Emerald?

Mumofgirls2017 · 07/02/2022 05:35

I love Emmeline. The others are fine but a bit boring at the moment. Although Emmeline will probably be shortened to Emmie or similar.

Anystarinthesky · 07/02/2022 04:28
