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,
Brooke

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 went for Marisa Riley. The first two are a little too frou-frou for me and the third (Emmalyn) is just NMSAA.

I voted for Marisa Arabella because Emmalyn and Riley seem very trendy and I find Arabella a little too frilly for a first name. Marisa is beautiful!

thanks, marisa is my middle name and wanted to pass it on if i have a girl. and am most likely going to use marisa arabella or arabella marisa. but cant decide which yet. for arabella im going to give her the nick name Babe which is short for Arabella, so its not as frilly but i still love the whole name as well.

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.
