Wayyyy too many repeating sounds, especially in Emilia Liana. Lovely names, awful combinations.
The only one that works as a middle with the others is Celine. Emilia Celine, Liana Celine, Elena Celine (assuming -leh-pronunciation, not -lay- )
Emilia Juliana
Emilia Vera
Emilia Carlotta
Emilia Francesca
Emilia Matilda
Emilia Victoria
Emilia Danica

Those names have pretty similar sounds, so I don't think most of them could be combined as first + middle name.
Emilia and Liana have prominent "li" syllable and "a" ending
Emilia and Elena have the same beginning and ending and similar "li" and "le"
Elena and Liana have the same syllable pattern, same ending, and similar "li" and "le" (also "len" and "lian" are a bit similar)
Celine is your best bet for a name you could combine with the others.
Emilia Celine could work, they both have "li" but the emphasis is different enough to pull off.
Elena Celine, maybe not because the "len" and "line" are both emphasized and too similar (if you're pronouncing it eh-LEN-a that is). Celine Elena is too matchy, it ends up sounding like "se-leena-lenna".
Liana Celine could work, the "li" syllables do match but they're split up a bit. Celine Liana wouldn't work as well because the "li"s are right next to each other, and both are followed by "n" so you get "line-lian". (Also, I just noticed the Lian part of Liana rhymes with Dion so it sounds too much like Celine Dion.)

Thank you, this is helpful I was trying to see if my husband's top names and mine could work together.
I agree with Kerilyntaryn21 on this one, Emilia Celine is a lot less -- how should I put this? -- of a mouthful. I can see where you're going with the combinations you provided (and they are lovely) but they use the same letters so frequently that I had to read them slowly in order to understand. It's your decision, of course, and it's really none of my business, but Emilia Celine flows better. It's easier on the tongue.
As for names that sound good in both Spanish and English, I recommend Esmeralda, Ramona, Valeria and Carmen.

That makes sense our other options for middle names could be
Serena

Celeste
Estella
