Emmeline - how do you pronounce it?

[xhannahx]

Just that really, seems a bit of a mixed bag online between emme-line and emme-leen.

Emmaleen

Em-lynn.

Emmie lean

Emma leen definitely
I have never heard of Emma line

I know one, it's -leen

I have always thought Emma-Leen but there is a girl in my daughter's school who is Emma-Line.

Emme-lyn, the same pronunciation as Evelyn

As a Mum to an Emmeline we pronounce it Em-e-leen. But I say each to their own, however you like it for your child

Em-Elle-een.

Very Scottish. Sorry.

In the 1974 song by Hot Chocolate “Emma” it sounds like Emmaleen for sure. Congrats on your son OP and back to the drawing board.

Elliot?

I’ve only ever heard it pronounced to rhyme with Caroline, I wouldn’t have thought to pronounce that spelling as ‘leen’ at the end.

Emm a leen

-leen

I HATE Emme-lyn or even worse Em-lyn. I can live with Emme-line.

I'd have said somewhere between Emma-leen and Emma-lin.

We had to take it off our list for dd before we started because we're a German/Brit family and the Germans would have pronounced it Emma-LEE-na. Otherwise I think it would have been a contender.

I think the German pronunciation is Eh-meh-LEE-neh (the ee pronounced English), with 4 syllables

I mean 'Emma' and 'na' as an English speaker would pronounce them, with the 'a's as schwas. It's more 'uh' than 'eh'. So 'EmmuhLEEnuh'.

That makes sense . I often find it difficult to describe English pronunciations.

I'm a linguist - but of a busman's holiday for me

Bit. Obviously. Way to inspire confidence in my linguistic skills...

Read the thread people It's definitely pronounced Elliot!

Well maybe not but the OP is definitely not having either an Emma-leen or Emme-line

Emma-line
