Emmeline
Has not been seen
For more than a week. She slipped between
The two tall trees at the end of the green.So, since AA Milne knew how to rhyme, I see no reason to doubt him. (For the record, in the poem Emmeline comes home after a week, having been criticised because her hands weren't clean, and reports that she'd gone to see the Queen, who thought her hands were perfectly clean.)However, I don't think she'd stay Emmeline for much more than three days. Then she'd be Emmie, and yes, submerged in the vast ocean of Emma and Emily people.Heidi, Rhys, Griffin and Emily would do it for me. In spite of the popularity factor, Emily is just so darn beautiful! And Emma is very plain and Emmeline is very frilly.
