Are you intending "Yes" to be "yes, it sounds made up?"

Basically, it looks like you couldn't decide between Emma, Emeline and Anneliese, so you tried to smoosh them all together into one name.

It does seem made up, but I don't dislike it. I would spell it Emmaliese, though, which would make it closer to both Emma and Annaliese and look more natural. Now that I think about it, I like the spelling Emmalise even better.

My only reservations are that: 1. there are SO many Emmas and Emilys out there that any Em name has lost a lot of appeal to me; 2. Emmalise sounds like "Emilys", so if you said "my baby Emmalise", it would sound like you had twins and named them both Emily!
