Elizabeth is classy, but I prefer Eliza.
Emmeline is cute. I know an Emmaline Justine, but she goes by Emma.

Would you marry a goldfish? You know, if you were a goldfish?

I would go with Emmeline. Elizabeth is nice but so common.

I loooooove both names! I only like Emmeline said EH-meh-line, not EH-meh-lynn or EH-meh-leen, though. IMO, Elizabeth will never be overdone, and if you call her Elizabeth and correct people who call her by a nickname, you shouldn't have issues.

I love the name Emmeline!!!!

I loved studing about Elizabeth I of England.
Elizabeth is a cool name, unfortunately it is becomming very popular! I like the nns Lizzie & Lissie but you can have the rest.

I like Emmeline, would you prn it line or leen? And Elizabeth is pretty but way too overdone, sorry... just cuz you KNOW that everybody'd use a nn, even if you didn't want them to. The most would be to find an uncommon nn you like and use it all the time so that others pick up on it, and it'd save her from the Liz or Beth you don't like. And definitely pair it with something more off-beat, or at least uncommon.*shrug*

I love Emmeline as well. Even though there are lots of Em- names, I think this one stands out. I'm just hoping it doesn't become popular before I have another girl! I already have two kids with "classy/trendy" names, and if I do have more, I'd like their names to be a little more unique. I know lots of Elizabeths, but very few of them use their full name. Most go by Beth, Liz or Libby, with a few using Eliza or Liza. I think if you use the full name, you won't fall into the "overdone" category.

Emmeline is nice but probably a little too old-fashioned for my tastes. I wasn't aware that there was an Emm trand though. Emma, Emmaline, Emmet, Emily etc. are all classic names that have been aorudn for ages and I would hardly call them trendy.

---

Elizabeth is a cool name (I prefer Elisabeth), I'm not opposed to it's nicknames because I think it is a very big name for a little girl to have and some of the nicknames from Elizbeth are quite nice.

Emma

I dont' like Emmeline. And she'll most likely be called Emma so if you don't like that name I would go with Emmeline.

---

I like Elizabeth. Just don't use a nn.

I really don't like massively popular names but I love Elizabeth. I think it would be best paired with something a little more edgy and modern. With the right name it could be very classic-chic.

I love Emmeline and I didn't like Elizabeth either until I read about Elizabeth 1, she's so cool! :D

Emmeline is too trendy-like to me, like an alternative to the trendy names Emma and Emerson. Emily is the best of the Em- names, I think.

Elizabeth is such a classically beautiful name. No name is overdone, in my opinion.

I love Emmeline. I think it's beautiful and a great alternative to Emma and Emily (I've always loved the name Emily though, but it's just so overused).
I think that Elizabeth is very pretty, but also really boring. I know about a ton of Elizabeths of all ages. I don't dislike the name though, it's still classic and pretty. I really love the spelling Elisabeth.
