Emily Rose or Lily Catherine?

[Cocor8]

I like both Emily and Lily as first anmes but struggling to decide. I think Catherine as middle name to a short soft name like Lily gives it a lot of stronger classic vibe and it’s the name of my dhs grandma who just recently passed away.

I love Emily too although I know it’s way past its peak and think rose is prettier with it than Catherine.

thoughts?

Catherine Lily as I’m so bored of Lily and Emily there are loads of them

I'd go with Catherine as a first name, there are just so many Lilys and Emilys around.
I've childminded 3 Lilys and 2 Emilys over the last few years but no Catherines (or Kate/Kitty/Katy)

Both terrible

Why are they both terrible? I don’t particularly like Emily rose because it’s common but lily Catherine is nice enough.

Lily is too popular for me to choose it. Also not keen on flower names. But I love Emily and Catherine, so Emily Catherine gets my vote!

Lily Catherine ❤️

Emily Joy was my name for my little boy

Catherine Lily
Catherine Rose
Rose Catherine

Catherine Rose would be my choice.

Emily and Lily are dated.

I'd go Catherine Rose

Actually prefer Lily Rose.

I must be the only one but I think Emily Rose is so pretty.

How about Catherine Rose, that’s a lovely name IMHO

Lily Catherine

Everyone thinks Emily Rose is pretty, that's why there's one in every class!

Lily Catherine is beautiful.

Another vote here for Catherine Rose! Catherine is a lovely name and there are so many ways that it can be shortened.

Emily and Lily are both over-used and quite dated now, with Emily being at peak popularity probably 25 years ago and Lily 15-20 years ago. And I don’t think either of them flow into Catherine if that were to be the middle name.

Me too.

OP It is a horror movie based on a 'true' story.

Would you consider Lillian Catherine?

Emily Rose is so unbelievably dull. Every girl has Rose as a middle name (if they don’t have Grace or May).

She’ll also be the eleventy billionth Lily in her school, but Lily Catherine is nice.

I don’t think it’s common anymore so I doubt you’d find one in each class these days, the pairing of Emily with the middle name rose was very popular about 25 years ago.
Emily in general isn’t as popular now and if someone were to chose it I doubt they would go with rose, even thought they are both classics Emily Rose together somehow feels dated imo.

Sorry I also think of ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’

I would vote Emily Catherine.

Lily is nice but very common so there will be a few in her class. If you’re ok with that then fine. I have one of those common names where there were 4 of us and it was annoying.

The 2 I know are primary school age rather than under 5 to be fair.

Too many Roses around. Makes me think of rose from the dead, I don’t know why.

I have gone right off the name Lily after hearing about Bonnie Blue and Lily Philips. 🤢

Catherine is a very pretty name. How about Catherine Elizabeth aka Princess Kate.

Of the two I choose Lily Catherine.

In order of preference I like ..
Rose Catherine
Catherine Rose
Catherine Emily
Catherine Lily
Lily Catherine
Emily Catherine
Rose Emily
Emily Rose

All nice names.It depends on your opinion.

Thank you for the different combos they are all lovely.
Is there any reason you put Emily rose last though?
