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

Wow, I didn't realise there was any ambiguity over this. I thought it was Emma-lynn, and that was that.

Think that's how my GCSE history teacher pronounced Emmeline Pankhurst, so I have never questioned it. I also remember she used to pronounce Stalin 'Star-lin', and then one day we had a supply teacher who said 'Stall-in'. Mind. Blown. Grin

Emma-lynn but I used to live in Texas and so that's probably the southern influence coming through!
