I was reading old Québécois name lists (so many pretty girls names!) when I found Emmélise, and fell in love with it.

---

It would be honoring my grandma, Ruth Emma. I love Ruth but it's my sisters mn, and using only one of my siblings names would cause too much drama. I have a bad association with Emma- and more importantly, my grandma doesn't like it at all. My cousin Emily is named after her, so I know she would consider it as the same.

I've always adored Emme / Emmie / Emmy as a nn, but the only full name I like enough to use is Emerson and it's too trendy and masculine for me to actually use. I love Emmeline but only in theory, I can't imagine myself calling it out on a daily basis. I want a full name I would actually use, not just the nn. So Emmélise seems like a good fit.

So what do you think of Emmélise?
How would you prn it?
What do you think of the nn Emme?
How would you spell it- Emmy, Emme, Emmie, other?
Any combo suggestions?

TIA :)
