Really love the name name Emmeline however surname if Green, and think there's too much eeee sound, would you go for Emmeline Green or
Emily Green

Or Eliza?

Emmeline is close to Amelia and Ameline.
I might like Ameline or Emily.

I like Emily. Eliza and Edith/edie as other have suggested are lovely too

I know of 6 Emmelines in one preschool. It's not
a pretty name IMO, I think it sounds like a cow or Guinea pig but I literally trip over them.
Additionally, every time I see one of them, I have the following theme tune: maybe she's born with it- maybe it's Emmeline...

Emily Green sounds great - I would be happy to introduce myself with that name. Completely disagree that Emily is dull or dreary it’s a beautiful, classic name steeped in history

I think Emmeline is really pretty but it will get misheard for Emily a lot of the time. Which although they sound so similar to my ears they are totally different names. You’re probably right about your surname....

Adaline?

Emily.

Timeless and not fussy or ‘trendy’.

I dont like Emily either. Theres too many.

Romily (although getting popular), Clementine, Emilia, Mila, Miley, Millie, Emmie

Elodie sounds better with Green than Emily.
Emmeline can be pronounced Emme-LINE which sounds ok with Green but she will constantly be having to tell people...

Emily is far from a classic name. It is an old name. It is dreadfully dull and dreary.

Imgladimnotyourchild · 29/06/2020 19:05

Emmie is better

Amelie?
Could be shortened to Amy/Ami?
