Love it...but DH would not be moved to be kind to it despite all of my begging and pleading. Seriously its a great name which sounds good on both a baby and a grown up KWIM?

I love it, too! It was on my list, but my husband vetoed it. He said it sounded backwoods to him. I don't agree with that, but I thought I'd give you that perspective. It sounds British to me.

Good luck! Let us know what you decide.

I absolutely LOVE Emmeline. It's been on my list of favorite names almost forever but I can't use it, it just doesn't sound right with my surname. Please, use Emmeline, it's lovely, lovely, lovely and will be perfect for a little girl as well as a grown woman!

Yes, I do like it, but I prefer these variations: Emmalina and Emmalynn.

I wouldn't call it weird, and I definitely like it a lot. My one little issue with it, though...see, I LOVE how it sounds, but it LOOKS a little awkward to me...it's a lot of "e"s and "m"s. But I don't know if Emeline would change my mind...maybe Emmaline?


It does sound absolutely gorgeous when said out loud, though! I love it! :-)

I do. I also like Evangeline, which is so similar! Emmeline is pretty and very unusual!

Hi all,

Thanks a million for voting, and most of you agreed with us - we've decided on Emmeline. We also liked Olivia, Sophia, Evangaline, Matilda and Madelaine. Matilda was a close second for awhile.

We plan to call her Emmie.

Today I have a second ultrasound, as the doc found some fibroids last time and wants to monitor for baseline, etc. It has me a little tweaked but I am sure its nothing to fret about. That's what the doc says. Right now I have to pee like there is no tomorrow!

Thanks again!
