Hi all, we've got a couple of months to go! We've finally got a short list. The second names here are all family names.

Which option do you prefer and why? Is there one that has a better flow to it?

Thea Elizabeth
Thea Autumn
Cora Elizabeth
Cora Amy
Emmeline Autumn

Thanks so much

I like Thea Autumn, will she be born in Autumn though?
Emmeline Autumn flows well too, Emmeline seems to be growing in popularity!

Cora Elizabeth or Emmeline Autumn

Emmeline Autumn is wonderful! By far the best of the bunch imo. It has a lovely sound and I like the suffragette association with Emmeline Pankhurst. I love Emma / Emmy as shortenings too.

DramaAlpaca · 31/08/2018 09:08

Emmeline Autumn is absolutely beautiful & flows really well.

Emmeline Autumn flows well.

Cora and Thea are lovely.

Emmeline is nice but there are just so many girls and women named Emily, Amelie, Amelia etc...

Thea Elizabeth: nice.
Thea Autumn: lovely name for an autumn baby :)
Cora Elizabeth: love it!
Cora Amy: it's fine but I prefer Autumn or Elizabeth as middle names...

Cora Emmeline would be nice as well. :)

I like Thea and Emmeline alot but not keen on the middle names

Kripton · 31/08/2018 13:34

Cora Elizabeth is my favourite. I don't think Cora Amy quite works as they're two very different styles of names.

deptfordgirl · 31/08/2018 13:38

Love Emmeline

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 31/08/2018 15:38

Thea is lovely. Not keen on Cora at all or Emmeline, sorry. The nn Emmie is so wet.

TroubledLichen · 31/08/2018 15:40

Emmeline Autumn is lovely and definitely gets my vote.

Tessellated · 31/08/2018 15:57

I think Emmeline Autumn is the best

I absolutely love Thea and Cora but I don't think they flow well with names beginning with a vowel sound - the double vowel sounds disjointed.

ReginaPhalange89 · 31/08/2018 17:00

Cora Elizabeth or Cora Amy. Love them !

Momma22 · 03/09/2018 02:53

Cora Elizabeth

moredoll · 03/09/2018 03:23

Thea is my favourite. Don't like Emmeline at all, sorry.
Thea Elizabeth because I don't think Thea Autumn flows. I do like Autumn though- could you have it as a first name?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 03/09/2018 06:46

Love Emmeline 💕
Emmeline Autumn sounds lovely.

Cora Elizabeth is lovely

abbie7 · 05/09/2018 20:24

I like Thea as a first name. Not too keen on Emmeline although love Emmy as a nickname!

Love the name Elizabeth as a middle name.
I like Autumn and don't believe it'd necessarily have to be an autumn baby either for it!

Flamingosnbears · 05/09/2018 22:13

Go for Emmeline Autumn

LadyGAgain · 05/09/2018 22:19

I love them all! Thea was on our shortlist of 2. However where we live lots of people would have said Fear (as Th is a F for many round here) so we went with the other.
Emmie as a shortened version is still really pretty and Cora is classic.
