Too many vowels?

[volvocowgirl]

Do you think names

Maenie Emmeline

or alternatively

Maenie Leia

have too many vowels?

How do you pronounce the first name please?

Is is said "Maynee" as thats what im.imagining?

May-knee

It was on one of those find your ancestors programme a few years ago and it's always stuck in my head.

It was written down on the program on a family tree thing and read out loud a few times by different people so that's the spelling and pronunciation they had and I really liked it.

I love the names Emmeline and Leia. I think they are really pretty.
Don't like Maenie as a name - maybe it's the vowels but think its difficult to pronounce and spell - and misread as meanie! Though having said that It sounds nice when said out loud.

I like the sound of Maenie but agree that it would be said wrong often. Is it like maenad which I'm sure was a fairyish thing in eg Narnia books?

I think they're only vowelly names on paper, and not when said aloud.

Emmeline is very stylish!

I love Emmeline. Not so keen on Leia. Maenie looks like Meanie which rather
puts me off it.

Oh dear. Wikipedia makes me unhappy.

Maenie is suggested as a nickname for Mary.

Children at school would call her Meanie.

Emmeline is a lovely name though

I don't think the vowels are a problem.

I don't like Maenie though. It sounds like meanie in a brummie accent. I also don't like names where the spelling doesn't tie up with pronounciation so everyone is always saying/spelling it wrong.

How about Marnie as an alternative?

loving Emmeline

Emmeline is lovely. Don't like Maenie at all. I don't think Maenie Emmeline has too many vowels but I do think it has too many 'Mmmms' in combination.

Meanie autocorrects to meanie.

Emmeline is lovely.

That child will always be Meanie in the playground. Sets them up terribly. Do not do it.

My name autocorrects to Doom so I could be starting a family tradition!
