I like the French Emeline best
in reply to a message by antonant
Emeline (pronounced like "em-eh-LEEN") is beautiful. So what if it is old, old names are the best. And Emma is an old name too.
Emma is kind of ruined for me due to its overwhelming popularity. Emmeline is nice as long as it is not pronounced rhyming with Caroline.

I learned my lesson well.

So you got to please yourself."
