Narrowing down girl's names. . . help! Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

- Emily _____ (Elise or Elizabeth don't work)
You will be able to change your vote.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Anna Elizabeth. I toyed with Anna Elisabeth for a long while and everyone thought it was really pretty. But I've pretty much dedicated to Blanche now which does not go well with Anna.
It's beautiful. Good luck!

I couldn't decide how to vote. Sara, Anna and Emily are all just too common for me. I realize they are classic names that a lot of people will always like, but that's just kind of the problem, it creates huge numbers of them.
I also don't care for when I name ends in a vowel and the middle starts with a vowel, but that's just me, I realize I'm overly picky about that.
and even though I really don't like when first and middle initial are the same, I almost think Emily Elizabeth would be the best of your choices. Maybe it sounds OK because I'm used to hearing it on Clifford the Big Red Dog.
I really like the name Elise. It's less common than your others. how about that for a first name with something classic in the middle, although Sarah, Anna or Emily or Elizabeth would not work in the middle with Elise.
how about: Elise Catherine, Elise Alexandra, Elise Jacqueline, Elise Kathryn, Elise Marie, Elise Michelle (not really classic, but it's been around long enough to be close!), Elise Renee.
good luck
Emily Elizabeth is the name of the little girl in the Clifford cartoon -- My ds LOVES Clifford and that's the name he's lobbying for for our upcoming arrival (we will likely use Elizabeth as a mn.) ;-)
BTW, Emily is uber-popular, if that is important to you.
HTH.
I love the names Sara/Sarah and Anna/Ana. I chose Sara Elise though as I think it was the prettiest. It is similar to my cousin's name Sarah Elizabeth. But, I would love to see you add the Anna, like maybe Sara Annalise/Anneliese/Annelise, etc. Or even use them separate as two middles, Sara Anna Elise, Sara Ann Elise, etc.
Good luck,
