Emily-Rose ? Emilie-Rose?

Dump the hyphen whatever you do. I know it’s fine in France but in the UK it conjures up a Lexi-Mai vibe

Emily Rose with Rose as the middle name is perfectly nice, albeit Rose is a very very very popular middle name. No one will associate it with the movie.

Emilie is nice too - the accent will never get used here. Explaining the different spelling will be slightly irritating for her if she lives in the Uk, but given her connection with France she may also value it

Nearly every hyphenated girl's name is a -Rose and it's an extremely popular middle name without the hyphen.

Emilie will get Emily or Amelie a lot.

Hyphens are considered a bit naff in the UK and usually only the name before the hyphen is used.

Rose is sooooo overused I would look at something. Else tbh.

I work with children and every other girl is an Evie-Rose or May, Lily-Rose, Ella-Rose. Rose/May/Grace are they filler middle names for girls.

My first thought was the film.

The film is based on the true story of Anneliese Michel, and it isn't the only one. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Just in case a variation might be of interest, have you considered Rosamund (or Rosemonde in French I think?), as that's also very pretty with similar sounds, and lends itself to various nice shortenings as she grows up?

And yes, don't worry about the film at all! I went to school with a Carrie and even she didn't get any comments.

Also French heritage here. The problem with Emilie, as lovely as it is, is that it's a bit chavy to put an ie on the end of a name that's not typically ie. Add to that the hyphen and you're setting an image. Which is so annoying as it really is a beautiful name. I realise I sound incredibly stuck up there but trust me, I'm not. I grew up as a chav on a council estate. Back then everyone was because we were emulating sporty spice.

Anyway, I digress. What about Amelie, Aurélie, Aimée, Emmanuelle?

Is the surname French? If so, Emilie is more fitting.

It is a well known and not enormously happy film.

Emily Rose (spelt either the English way or the French way) would avoid any problematic connections whilst keeping the pretty name.

Although I also hate hyphens so I would say that!

If you use it, you need to be alive to the fact that the first time she uses a computer independently she will do what all kids do and google their name, and that the film is going to come up, and that she may be exposed to some quite frightening material much younger than you would otherwise need to deal with it.

We have an Emily-Rose in our family.

It’s such a mouthful to say that she is universally known as ER, other than her mum who insists on calling her Emily-Rose or just Emily.

Im pretty sure the mum regrets hyphenating it and creating ER instead of her just being an Emily

The accented E is going to be a pain if you live in the UK. I’d also drop the hyphen.

The pronunciation is slightly different if you use the accent

I wouldn't hyphenate

There was an Emilie-Rose at DD's school. I thought it was lovely and never once did that film cross my mind.

Please just lose the hyphen.

Definitely drop the hyphen.

I live in a French speaking country and my daughter is Emily. Emilie is a very common name but she spends her life saying 'it's spelt with a y!'

She doesn't mind though, and our name is so English the French spelling would have been daft.

I love the name. It was my preferred choice for a girl. That's was 20 odd year ago.

I agree with pp’s to drop the hyphen. Emily is a lovely name. Emilie spelling is pretty but she will need to correct people a lot if she lives in the UK.

Pretty name either way. But yes...drop the hyphen 🤷‍♀️

I'm a teacher and we have MANY children (girls only!) currently with hyphenated names (often with Rose or May/Mae/Mai as the second name in the pair).

1. It's a lot for them to learn to read/write when they start school (and their name is often the first thing they need to learn to read and write).

1. It becomes a bit of a mouthful to be used in everyday interactions, and eventually gets dropped by choice anyway when the child starts to think for themselves (despite parents insisting it's kept as the hyphenated version, the children themselves drop it, so become 'Emily' to friends...however adults have to continue with the full version as parents insist).

I've got two sets of girl twins this year, both with -Rose and -May, eg Alice-Rose Smith, Elizabeth-May Smith, Carrie-Ann-Rose Jones, Caitlin-May Jones) and all 4 have themselves dropped the second name, so the children just call them by their first name, but we have to call them their full hyphenated version at parents request (even though the girls themselves ask us not to!) It's not great 🤷‍♀️

(And yes, one of the girls actually has two hyphens).

Drop the hyphen and rethink Rose, it's very overused

I know an awful one so maybe that clouds my judgement but I don't like it.
Rose as a first name is nice

Just use Emily / Émilie.

I'd lose the Rose and just call her Emily / Emilie (but I think people will mistake the French spelling for a different spelling just for the sake of being different - that shouldn't necessarily bother you though, but just worth considering I think)

There are a lot of Amelies and Elodies about these days, as well as the Amelias and Emilys. I know more than one Amelia Rose and Elodie Rose.

All that said, there's nothing wrong with Emily-Rose but it just isn't for me. I'd vaguely heard of the film but haven't seen it fwiw

Drop the hyphen.
i have never heard of the film. I would definitely say Emily if your husband wasn’t French but given he is you can use either.
