hey :)

after reading A LOT OF threads and the comments in my last thread
Finally I've found two of my favourite girl names Blush

VERITY or EMMELINE??

I love the meaning of Verity - truth
and this name looks relatively stronger than many girl names ((???? idk...

At the same time...
I love Emmeline Pankhurst! because of her contribution to feminism!
and the name sounds and looks elegant.
(by the way, which pronunciation do you prefer - Emm-uh-leen OR Emm-uh-line)

THX!!

Verity.

Verity is lovely.

And personally I prefer Evangeline to Emmaline which just sounds like a longer version of Emma.

I know an Emmeline in her 30s, pronounced leen. Never shortened either. I like it.

Studycast · 12/06/2020 22:55

Gah, sorry that should have been spelt with an 'e' but I still prefer Verity.

Verity

samandpoppysmummy · 12/06/2020 22:57

Emmeline (with the 'leen' pronunciation)

MintyMurray17 · 12/06/2020 22:57

Emmeline just edges it for me Smile

MojoJojo71 · 12/06/2020 22:58

Verity.

I do love Emmeline but I think it would be constantly misheard as Emily

Poppyfields21 · 12/06/2020 22:58

Emmeline

Bigearringsbigsmile · 12/06/2020 22:58

100% Emmeline
Leen pronunciation

Confusedbutheyho · 12/06/2020 22:59

Verity

MamaFirst · 12/06/2020 23:04

Emmeline - the 'leen' pronunciation is correct I believe, I don't know of it being pronounced 'line'. So I don't think pronunciation confusion would be an issue?

LegArmpits · 12/06/2020 23:08

Emmeline, like the Ben Folds song ♥️

MilaRos · 12/06/2020 23:49

Emmeline. Dislike Verity

BeMorePacific · 12/06/2020 23:58

Both nice, but I prefer Emmeline xx

123Dancewithme · 13/06/2020 11:02

Emmeline. Verity does make me think “ferrety”

missmouse101 · 13/06/2020 11:09

Emmeline. Verity sounds like ferret-y.

SnowdropFox · 13/06/2020 12:20

Another vote for Verity

Emmeline (leen)

It's a great name and I really like Lena as a potential nn.

Verity is nice but is a little bit annoying somehow.

Cyberworrier · 13/06/2020 12:29

Verity

IagoWithABlackberry · 13/06/2020 12:33

Verity.

Pemba · 13/06/2020 14:15

Emmeline. Verity is ok, but a bit harsh sounding.

userabcname · 13/06/2020 14:23

Emmeline

thethe · 13/06/2020 14:34

I have always liked the name Verity.

RoiseCap · 13/06/2020 15:25

Emmeline!
