Middle name - Emmeline

My sisters are called Caroline and Emily. I'd like to use Emmeline as a middle name on my girls list so that baby can be named after both of them.

I'm worried it's a bit 'Renesmee'-esque (Twilight) though, and that my family will think it's a bit naff. Thoughts?

Emmeline is a beautiful, classy name. Use it!

It's lovely, and a very nice tribute to your sisters.

My husband thinks it's silly!

It's great. What's silly about it?

Elegant! The next step in the mellifluous Emma and Emily trend.

It deserves a revival.

Millicent ...sounds similar

I love it!

This is what we've picked as the middle name if we have a DD, so naturally I think it's fantastic :)

joyfulworld · 28/03/2016 08:13

It's a beautiful name. I love it.

Gorgeous name, I would use it for a first name.

NadiaWadia · 28/03/2016 17:28

Your husband doesn't think you just made it up, does he?

As it's a real name, unlike Renesmee or whatever.

MiniMolMop · 28/03/2016 20:06

No he knows it's real, just thinks it's silly for us to use it!

It's beautiful, not even a tiny bit silly

tethersend · 28/03/2016 20:25

Yes, as long as you use Emma as a first name in tribute to Hot chocolate Grin

It's a great name, Emmeline Pankhurst is a kick-ass role model, and it honours both your sisters. Go for it!

It's a lovely name.
