Anastasia

WaltzingWaters · 22/06/2024 07:03

Emmeline (but I’d nn Emme/Emmy).

Emmeline

Bristolnewcomer · 22/06/2024 07:14

Meredith because many people won’t pronounce Emmeline like that - I thought it was emmuhleen

Would have to be Meredith although I'm not keen due to the other two having different ways of being pronounced

Firsttimebabymummy · 22/06/2024 07:39

Anastasia

Moreteaandchocolate · 22/06/2024 07:40

Emmeline is my favourite (but I’d pronounce it Emma-leen) - I love the nn Emmy / Em
I also like Anastasia - and like the nn Anna / Annie
Meredith is a good name but I’m not keen on “Merry” as a nn, so I’d want to think of another short version (as everything gets shortened in secondary school in my experience!)

Actually, I really love all three! Would be lovely names for triplets😃

ExitChasedByCars · 22/06/2024 08:45

Meredith
Anastasia is a close second.
Emmeline

I love Emmeline and Anastasia. I think the most common pronunciation of Emmeline is Emma - leen as others have said, so I’d worry I’d be giving her a lifetime of correcting people.

personally I’m not keen on Meredith.

This.

although I prefer Meredith over the others anyway.

Thank you all so much! TBH I'm not sure how it's pronounced although I like all ways 😂 Really appreciate your responses xx

Emmeline (but pronounced sort of like Emma-leen)

KirstenBlest · 22/06/2024 13:29

Emmeline. (Emmuh-leen)
Anastasia is nice but too long and princessy
I don't like Meredith at all for a girl.
