Nice. Emilie/Emily Rose is v common around here though. If that's important to you?

whywhywhydelilah · 21/04/2010 14:01

I think they are lovely choices

MyMamaToldMe · 21/04/2010 14:03

Lovely names

starshaker · 21/04/2010 14:09

Luckily where we are there are no emilies at all.
Do you think the names go with dd. Her name is alana jean

His initials will be HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) if that bothers you at all.

Rose is a nice enough name but seems to be the generic middle name for all little girls. A bit like Louise was in the 1970s.

Why the 'ie' on Emily just out of interest? the name is lovely and your middle names etc are nice but I can't get past the 'ie'

Egwene · 21/04/2010 14:34

I think the Harrison Robert thomas and Harrison Thomas Robert both sound fine, infact quite distinguished.

For your little girl I would add another middle name:

Emilie Rose Elizabeth

Emilie Amelia Rose

They go very well with Alana

starshaker · 21/04/2010 14:42

Not sure why i went for the ie spelling. Was wondering about another middly name for her but couldnt think of 1. Not sure about using elizabeth as its my younger sisters name. Like amelia as that was on the list as a first name for a while.

Am not sure about the "ie" in Emilie. Won't she spend her life correcting people who've spelt it Emily?
Lovely names though

padraig · 21/04/2010 15:02

Emily/Emilie does seem to be a very common name for girls these days though.

starshaker · 21/04/2010 15:13

ooh had another thought.
emilie christina rose

OP posts:
Egwene · 22/04/2010 12:01

Emily Isabella Rose?

Journey · 22/04/2010 12:23

Agree with Egwene. Emily Isabella Rose is better than Christina. It flows better when you say the name.

mathanxiety · 22/04/2010 15:34

I like the -ie spelling for Emilie. DS had an Emilie in his class a few years ago; her mother was French. She was a sweet girl too.

I love Emilie Christina Rose -- really beautiful name combination. Isabella Rose sounds like a question.

GladioliBuckets · 22/04/2010 20:10

I like Emilie Rose Christina personaly.

starshaker · 22/04/2010 20:37

the christina is after my great gran. want them to have their own first names but the middle names all have a family connection

I prefer Emily rather than the 'ie' ending.

I also prefer Emily Christina Rose, Isabella is soooooo common these days that I wouldn't use it with Emily and Rose, Christina is much less common so I think woud stand the test of time much better.

janeite · 22/04/2010 20:45

I like Emily - don't like the 'ie' ending. Am not fond of Harrison but like Robert and Thomas.

Emily Hermione Rose
Emily Beatrice Rose
Emily Juliet Rose
Emily Harriet Rose
Emily Christabel Rose

Fandango · 22/04/2010 20:45

both are absolutely lovely in my opinion.

janeite · 22/04/2010 20:46

Christina nice.

CirrhosisByTheSea · 22/04/2010 21:12

I don't like the -ie ending either, I'd go for Emily

I think Emily Christina is beautiful and doesn't need to ubiquitous Rose stuck on the end like a dead weight!
