baby girl first name to go with Emily as middle name

[addie81]

We have already decided to give our little girl the middle name Emily, which is my sister's name, but we can't agree on a first name!
We quite like Isabella and Grace, but both of those are so popular at the moment that puts us off a bit. DH is proving to be v. picky and tends to veto loads of names (including Beatrice, Alice, Georgia.....I could go on), but never makes and suggestions for any names he would actually like! Anyone have any clever ideas? thanks in advice for the help!

Our DD1's middle name is Emily (I actually wanted it to be her first name, but DH didn't) and her first name is Isabelle but it sounds like you've already ruled that one out.

DD2's name is Sophie but that's probably just as popular as Isabelle; I like Sophia too (but again, v. popular here). And if DS had been a girl, he would have been Helena.

I also like Lucy, Olivia, Amelia, Lydia, Imogen and Holly.

Olivia is lovely. Close friends of ours have a Sophie and I wouldn't want to look like I was copying! Isabella is still a possibility.
Isabella Emily does sound nice.

Leonora Emily sounds lovely together.

Definitely not popular yet an old established name.

Mine is only 6 months old. Sleeps OK but wakes at 5.30 and wants to play. Wants to be held all the time and only be me! Good job she's cute and not very heavy

There's some photos on my profile

My Catherine Emily has a big brother too! Blue eyes? Blonde hair?

I would stick to literary names.
If he won't come up with ideas himself, ask him to pick the name he hates least from each list you give him. You should end up (after several lists) with a shortlist of names that neither of you totally hate.

jasmine emily.

I have a Margaret Emily

Any of the names ending in n or t sound lovely with Emily. I'd steer clear of -a, because of the 'Ameliaremily' effect you get, and also -y so that you don't have an -y -y echo.

I agree, Lancelottie.
