1. What is your preferred spelling of the name? Emeline, Emmaline or Emmeline?

---

Either Emmeline or Emeline. I'm not entirely sure which one out of those two.

---

2. What is your overall opinion of the name? What images does the name conjure up?**

---

I find it pretty, and not too childish for an adult. I could picture it working for either a child or adult

---

It reminds me of an even-tempered, kind person who lives in a quaint little house.

I'm most fond of Emeline, though I also love Emmeline. However, I strongly dislike Emmaline.

1. Only Emmeline.

---

2. Actually, it brings to mind an adult, not a child.
I love the name.

I really like the name. Emmeline is my favorite spelling, but I also like Emeline. I dislike Emmaline.

---

No particular images come to mind with it, but I do think it ages well.

Emmeline is my fave version of the name. I like it and think it will work well on a little girl and will sound equally as nice on an adult. No particular image comes to mind when I hear the name.

I like both Emmaline and Emmeline.

---

I don't find it childish.

---

I think of a character from the movie Anne of Avonlea (or I guess the book Anne of Windy Poplars).

---

It's on my short list for girls.

1. Emmeline is the best spelling.

---

2. I like the name better than Emma. That is for sure.
I do not see childish images if paired with either a good nn or a great middle name.

I love this name, but only if spelled Emmeline.

Overall, I think the name is sweet and playful with a touch of elegance. It conjures up an image of a businesswoman for me. Don't worry about it being too childish.
