for some reason all of these names make me think of the name Marina Belle - this combo combines a lot of the elements of names you like. I do not care for Emmalyn - but Emeline would be great and I also like names like Avelyn, Adelyn, Evelyn, and Jocelyn.
Good luck,

If it's Arabella you love, that's what you should go with.
I chose Arabella Marisa because I love the name Arabella - it's beautiful, classic, feminine but not frilly or cutesy, and familiar but not super trendy or otherwise overused.
I'm not crazy about Emmalyn because it just sounds like Emily to me; and while Emily is pretty, it's so common that I'm tired of it. Ditto for Marisa and Riley - fine names, but I've heard them so often they've lost their appeal for me. I like a bit of variety, I guess.
I chose Marisa Riley, because the other options seemed too "fluffy" and "uber-feminissima." They are just too much, if you kwim. Other options that balance the fluffiness of Marisa:
Marisa Kate
Marisa Brynn
Marisa Nicole
Marisa Pilar
Marisa Carmen
Marisa Lauren
Marisa Grace
Marisa Hope
Marisa Faith
I really loved the name Emmalyn when I saw it. I have never heard this name and do not recall reading it in my name book. I like that it is original but also has a somewhat traditional base (Emily or Emma & Lynne) So its not to wierd as sometimes nontraditional names can be. Marisa is a great name to I know a little Marisa and she is so cute I think the two names sound great together.
