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!

Sophronia · 31/08/2018 08:59

Cora Elizabeth or Emmeline Autumn

PenelopeThePufferfish · 31/08/2018 09:06

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.

Quangot · 31/08/2018 10:06

Emmeline Autumn flows well.

MeyMary · 31/08/2018 10:07

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. :)

17caterpillars1mouse · 31/08/2018 12:58

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.
