How would you pronounce this?

[Mummamia14]

Emmeline? Is it emma-line or emma-leen? I love the name emma but prefer a longer name. TIA

Like Pankhurst?
Emma-leen

Emma-leen, I've never heard of anyone pronouncing it Emma-line

In the Anne of Green Gables TV series there's a character called Emmeline pronounced Emma-line. So both must be correct.

Maybe emma-line is the american/Canadian way to pronounce it?

It's spelled Emma-line so that's how I would pronounce it

Emma-Lean

Emma-leen. I've never heard it pronounced the other way.

Lovely name. I'd pronounce it Emma-leen like in the poem by A A Milne where the first verse goes:

Emmeline
Has not been seen
For more than week. She slipped between
The two tall trees at the end of the green…
We all went after her. “Emmeline!”

The poem wouldn't work if it was Emma-line

Emma-leen

I wouldn't have a clue so would avoid saying it till I'd heard someone else pronounce it!

I'd say it how it's spelt, Emma-line

I pronounce it more like Emma-Lynn, but only because I know one who pronounces it like that and goes by the nn Lynn

I say it more like Emmeh-leen - the A doesn't come out as strongly as on the end of the name Emma.

Emmeline
We've not seen a sign
For more than a week. She slipped behind
The two tall trees at the end of the Rhine

😄

The line part rhymes with green. Does not rhyme with pine.

Francine
Caroline

Same type of spelling... Different pronunciation

Originally French so leen,

Emily
Emilia
Emiliana

Rhymes with movie screen.

And hot chocolate sang about "emmalene"

Pankhurst! Great name and what a role model too!

I have a friend called this, she pronounces it Emma-line.

Maybe emma-line is the american/Canadian way to pronounce it?

Well, I only know one Emmaline - she's a Canadian - and she pronounces it Emmaleen

Emma-leen

Mitzy

Emma-LINE.

Line to rhyme with wine.

Just like I'd pronounce Adeline Add-Eh-LINE, not Addaleen.
