Great-grandmother and her sisters' names

Replies

Mary Emiline Elizabeth - Mary and Elizabeth are lovely; I prefer Emily to all versions of Emiline.
Lucy Irene - Lucy is great; I assume Irene would have two syllables? Lucy Ireen is OK but I prefer iReenee which doesn't work with Lucy.
Nannie Imogene - Nannie is awful, and Imogene is not nearly as good as Imogen. Nancy Imogen would be delightful.
Winnie Pearl - I dislike nns as fns; Winifred Pearl would be better, though I don't like either.
Virginia Florence - I'd prefer Florence Virginia for the rhythm, and because I prefer Florence to Virginia.
Pansy Ella - No. Just, no. I dislike both names and also the way they run together.
Like/LoveMary Emiline Elizabeth - I've never seen Emiline spelled this way
Lucy Irene - Nice
Winnie Pearl - cute. It reminds me of Minnie Pearl (HOW-DEE!)
Virginia Florence - My favourite combo
I thought of Minnie Pearl too! I worked with a lady named Winnie Rouse - AKA Minnie Mouse! haha
Nannie Imogene is so charming! I'm also partial to Pansy Ella.
Mary Elizabeth is incredibly boring, but I enjoy seeing Emiline.
Lucy Irene is stunning.
I do not understand the appeal of Nannie as a name AT ALL. Imogene is pretty, though.
Winnie Pearl is ugly, sorry.
Virginia Florence is not my thing but has a vintage charm to it.
Pansy Ella is cute.
