I like the flow of Cait Emmaline and Kate Aislinn better than Emmaline Cait, which for some reason, sounds truncated to me. My favorite combo is Cait Emmaline.

---

*Last name is Peck. -Cait Peck sounds nice.
*Need an Irish name in the mix. -Cait is definitely Irish.
*Don't care for Catherine/Katherine/Kathleen/Caitlin - Me, either.
*Concerned "Cait" looks incomplete and with all the Catherine/Caitlin/Kaitlyn, etc. is tooo common. -No, I don't think so at all. Cait is a lovely name.
*Concerned about Kate for popularity reason. -Well, Cait sounds exactly the same...and I see why you're concerned. :o)
*Afraid Emmaline looks like we're trying too hard to make Emma different. -I don't think it looks like you're trying too hard. Now Emmaleigh? THAT'S trying too hard.
"Emma Peck" sounds horrid and we're trying to honor an Emma. -I don't think Emma Peck sounds horrid at all.

---

Alternate suggestions: What about Aislinn Emmaline or Emmaline Aislinn? That way, you don't have to deal with the Cait/Kate popularity issue. As much as I love Emmaline, Aislinn Peck sound very nice, imo.

---

What about Kate Emmaline? That gets my vote.

---

:)

Cait does look incomplete, imo, and doesn't sound very good with a one syllable ln either. :-/ No matter how you spell it, it'll still sound like KATE and people don't spell out their kid's names on the playground, so when you're calling her or when she's in a classroom, she may still be one of many despite the 'different' spelling.

---

I like Emmaline the best for the fn.

I think it'll be Katherine (Kate/Katie) Aislinn

---

Though I love the sing-song quality when my ds (3.5 years old) says Cait/Caitie Emmaline, I'd rather this baby have options and have her name spelled correctly. This way she has options, has a nn I like and has a great Irish mn.

---

Katherine Aislinn Peck sounds quite nice to my ear and it's growing on me.

---

THANKS!

Have you considered

---

Caitria? I love that name, and it very obviously has "Cait" in it. :]

---

A few more:
Catalina
Catrina
Caitriona (prn. like Catrina)

---

I prefer the "C" names to Kate, Katherine, etc. Those are overdone, lately.

---

Emmaline doesn't make you look like you're trying too hard. I've seen it used lots of other times. The "Emmeline" spelling is more common, though.

---

Some more names you could use to honour an Emma:
Emmanuelle
Emmabel
Emmalina
Emmaliese
Emmarose / Emma Rose

---

The last four aren't in the database, but I have seen them before, and a Google search turns up a decent number of results for each.

---

Like Emma Rose, you could always combine Emma with another name you like and make a double-mn.

---

Good luck!

Cait is ok on it's own, but what about Caitriona / Catriona with the nn Cait? I think it's very nice and uncommon.
I think Kate looks a bit plain, Cait Emmaline Peck is quite nice, Emmaline Cait Peck doesn't flow as well imo.
I like Emma, but also have problems with the popularity. Emmaline is ok, but I prefer it in the mn spot.

---

What about Caitriona Emmaline Peck "Cait" or Grainne (GRAWN-ya) Emmaline Peck. Also, another thought, Irma means the same as Emma and might be a nice alternative to Emma if you want to honour somebody. So what about Caitriona Irma Peck?

---

What Sid was saying is true, but there are also different dialects, so if you met someone who pronounces her name that way and it's not a major difference, I don't see a problem with it. And many people would pronounce it "wrong" anyway, thus saying Emmaline to rhyme with mine.

---

Emmaline is actually pronounced Emma-leen.

I think Cait and Kate are lovely names, but would be horrible combined with you last name. The combo Kate/Cait Peck is way to choppy, imo. Emmaline Cait Peck sounds much better. Emmaline is one of my favourite names, but I still spell it Emmeline for the same reason as you.

i like Emmeline Cait and Kate Aislinn out of your picks!
