I think that it is pretty, but I prefer Emma (obviously), or Emilia.

I really like it but would never use it because it will just get lost in all the other "Emmie" names that are currently popular.

It looks like Emma, fancified. Maybe that wouldn't be my first thought if Emma wasn't so popular, but it is at the moment, so.

I'm not a fan of Emma, Emily, Amelia, or Amelie. I like Emmeline about the same as Emma or Amelie and more than Emily or Amelia.

I like it better with one M, but I like it more then Emma and Emmy is a cute nickname.

I’ve always preferred the pronunciation “Emma-line” vs “emma-lyn” but I know most people will probably use the latter. It’s a nice name either way.

Never heard the latter, I have only ever heard Emma-line.

I say EM-ə-leen. I've never heard anyone say 'line' as 'lyn'.

I have only heard that pronunciation in continental Europe.

Actually, it'd depend on the name. In my accent...

Jacqueline would be "lyn"
Caroline, Rosaline, Madeline, Adaline would be "line".
Pauline, Marceline, Celine, Evangeline, Apolline, Angeline, Maybelline would be "leen".

I tend to default to "een" when I see *ine, though, and I've never met an Emmeline IRL. Don't know where you're from, but I assume that'd be common in the eastern US.

I love it and it's in my top 3, and something I'd love to use in real life.
