I'm expecting my third
| Mon, 12-20-2004 - 2:19pm |
O.K., I'm expecting my third baby in August. I'm obsessed with choosing just the right name!! My favorite right now is Emma Caroline (a long i). Our last name is Zink. My dilema is that my oldest daughter's name is Hannah Abigail. Do you think they sound too much alike? Hannah and Emma? Since they both end in a. My second child is a boy named Ethan.
Some other names I really like are:
Sophie Ellen (Ellen is my mom's name)
Caroline Ellen
Gracie Ellen
Emmaline Ellen
I have a really strong feeling that it's a girl. If it's a boy I'm really screwed, because I have no names.

Hi there! Emma is somewhat similar, but not so similar that it's out of the question. Hmmm. Well, I see your dilemma! I didn't read the other posts, so I'll go back and see what they say, but my initial thought was that you should go with Emmaline. It's similar to Emma, not too similar to Hannah, and beautiful and a little more original than Emma, which is getting a lot of play right now.
Good luck!

I just think there are way too many Emma's around right now. they are everywhere. I don't necessarily think that Hannah and Emma are too similar though. I just think Emma is too over-used. of your other choices I like Sophia, with Sophie as nickname. Sophie should not stand alone. Sophia Caroline sounds great together. Caroline Ellen does not flow well.
here are a couple possibiilties with the Emma/Hannah feel to them: they aren't quite as classic/traditional, but then Ethan is not classic/traditional, so I think that'd be OK
Kara or Cara - although Caroline would not be a possible middle for that - possible Kara or Cara Grace would work.
Amy Caroline, Gina Caroline, Heidi Caroline, Leah Caroline, Molly Caroline, Maura Caroline, Nina Caroline, Rayna Caroline, Tara Caroline.
good luck.
I really like Emma Caroline. I think it is pretty. I don't care that it is popular. If you like the name, use it. It isn't too close to Hannah at all. I really think that Hanna, Ethan and Emma flow really well together. i don't care for Emmaline which was suggested too old-fashioned for me.
Good Luck.

I think Emma Caroline fits perfectly! I am not fond of Emmaline Ellen, I think those two names are too much alike to use together. Something else with Emmaline would be nice, Cara Emmaline, Emmaline Marie, etc. Good luck!
