I think the name looks very pretty written down but am ashamed to say as I've never heard it allowed I have no idea how it is pronounced. Assume Emm-a-leen? Help!

Love it. It was on my final girl list a couple of years ago along with Rose, Martha, Genevieve, Annie and Elizabeth.

Ben Folds Five song! I love it.

I think it's Emma leen, because of the A.A. Milne poem 'Emmaline, has not been seen, for more than a week...' (great poem!) So line rhymes with seen and been.

Great name.

My daughter is Emma and we call her Emma-leen, after the poem character sometimes! Cute.

Thank you everyone! I've definitely learned something new!

Lovely, elegant name.

I prefer the Emma-line pronunciation.
