So we’ve managed to narrow down our name choice for DD2 to 5 options but not sure which goes best with Emily.

Which pair do your prefer?

Emily & Bella
Emily & Amelia
Emily & Emilia
Emily & Lola
Emily & Penny

Emily & Bella

I like Emilia but think it is a bit too similar to Emily.

Bella, Amelia and Lola all go well. Personally I would choose Amelia but they're all lovely. Don't like Penny.

Whatsyourflava · 29/01/2020 22:35

Bella Amelia and Lola are all great names 🥰

MyNewBearTotoro · 29/01/2020 22:37

Amelia and Emilia are far too similar to Emily.

The other 3 names all go with Emily.

Chocolatecake12 · 29/01/2020 22:38

Amelia and Emilia are too similar to Emily. Too many m and l’s

Out of your choices I prefer Penny
Bella is nice too and although it has l’s it still goes nicely.

I don’t think you can have Emilia with Emily it’s far to similar.
I like Bella or Lola

Penelope

Emily and Bella or Lola are the best pairs, even though I'm not keen on either.

Amelia and Emilia are both derived from the same name as Emily aren't they? - so it would be using the same name twice. I like Penny and prefer it over Bella but Penny is very much a short form or nickname for Penelope whereas Emily is a full name, so the pairing of Emily and Penny seems very uneven to me.

You can hardly have Emily and Emilia or Amelia.
I wouldn't say any of the go really, but. The best pairing is Bella. Although Penny is the nicest

OnABeachSomewhere · 30/01/2020 01:26

Bella

RainbowMum11 · 30/01/2020 01:57

Emilia & Amelia seem too similar to Emily.
The others work well though.

MyBlueMoonbeam · 30/01/2020 02:09

Lola lo lo lo lo Lola 😊

7ardmore · 30/01/2020 02:51

Charlotte 🤩

ElizabethMainwaring · 30/01/2020 03:46

Annabelle

SuziGeo · 30/01/2020 03:56

Bella or Lola are my preferred choices from your list. The 'l' sounds help link them to Emily.
Amelia and Emilia are both lovely but too similar to Emily.
Penny I am neutral about.

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 30/01/2020 04:42

Amelia or Emilia are pretty much the exact same name as Emily!

I like Penny or Penelope. Kinda rhymey with Emily but still nice.

I will suggest Elonore or Evangeline paired with Emily.

Rachelhaydenberk1 · 30/01/2020 04:43

I somehow missed Lola! Yes - love Lola!

Jossina · 30/01/2020 05:25

Emily and Penelope nn Penny.

Traditionalwife · 30/01/2020 08:15

Bella out of your list
I love the combination of Emily and Tabitha.

Mumma4262 · 30/01/2020 10:09

Amelia and Emilia are far too similar to Emily.

I think Lola goes best.

Emily and Bella.
