Thanks. I can’t really see not using Emily, I think. Popularity be damned.

If these are the only options, I prefer Emily Jane. Guinevere is too much of a mouthful even though it is a beautiful name. However, I would go with Helena Guinevere.

My choice would be Helena Guinevere. It fits the Arthurian romance theme, but Guinevere as a first name seems a bit too obvious and more out there than Lionel and Tristan. Helena, on the other hand, fits nicely, and Guinevere can stay in the middle. Emily Jane is nice but very average and doesn't really go with Lionel Arthur and Tristan Micah.

Emily Jane is too Bronte. Guinevere Helen would be less clumsy. If it was my choice, I'd go for Helen Guinevere Jane.

With Guinevere thrown in with Lionel and Tristan, the sibling set becomes overtly themey. They do sound good together. Emily Jane is very girl next door in comparison although it is cute. Helena Guinevere strikes a nice balance of being on theme but slightly more subtle.Emily Igraine or Emily Viviane would carry a nice Arthurian nod too.

Guinevere Helena:)

Emily or Helena as a first nameLionel and Tristan are already kind of from different ball parks. Not completely, but enough for me to notice. Guinevere is very medieval and would throw the vibe off completely and make everything clash way harder. Plus, Emily and Helena are more pronounceable and certainly prettier. Maybe Helena Guinevere or Helena Jane?

Lionel and Tristan are both Arthurian Romance names from the 13th and 12th centuries. Guinevere is also an Arthurian Romance name so it fits in just fine :)

I still think Guinevere is a bit out there compared to Lionel and Tristan though. Maybe Lynette, Morgan, or Vivian would be better.

I love Guinevere and like Helena but they are a little heavy together. Emily Jane feels kind of blase. My vote is Guinevere Jane.
