Maya/ Marissa are names honouring family members and Serena is just a middle name that we like!
Which middle name goes best and has a good flow?

I love the name Serena but I think maya goes best with Emily!

Emily Serena

Either of the M names. They flow better and alliterate with the M sound from Emily.

Emily Seren is a bit of a mouthful, because you have to pause slightly between the two.

Emily Marissa

Serena, sorry. Emily's Arena. (Not that people often say the two names out loud together anyway).

Emily Marissa because I like honouring family/friends with middle names (but Emily Maya is a bit too much "Y" for me I think). I also like that Marissa is more unusual than Maya, since Emily is also quite popular.

Emily Maya sounds best.

Jelly4444 · 07/03/2021 22:51

@lottiegarbanzo I hadn't thought of it that way! 🤣 Emily Maya sounds nicest.

Serena or Marissa

I love middle names honouring family members, so Emily Marissa for me. That's lovely.

ILoveStickers · 08/03/2021 08:50

Love Serena, but I like middle names with family connections, so Marissa.
