Cait/Kate and mn's
We've totally nixed Lily. It's my favorite, but dh doesn't like it. The last time we discussed names I was unfair and said the first name would be Lily and gave him a choice of mn's, and have been feeling guilty about it lately, lol.
We both LOVE the spelling "Cait". He likes Cait Aislinn, but I don't want 2 Irish names. My mom made a good point that most people will assume "Cait" is spelled K-A-T-E, so that is a better cohice.
Dh decided he doesn't care about Emmaline. He said now he's kind of so-so about Lauren which surprises me, as it's been his #1 choice for the last few years.
My HUGE dilemma is not honoring my mom in some way. Our middle name is Leigh, but Cait Leigh doesn't sound good. I don't care for Katherine/Catherine that much and really want to keep an Irish name in the mix. My mom's first name is Bettina and her mom is Betty, both derived from Elizabeth. I just had a cousin use that middle name...and they're the type of people who would be annoyed if I used it as a middle name too, though I do like Cait Elizabeth. Mom would like me to use Emma Leigh as a middle name but I don't really want 2 names...that way it honors 2 family members. I'd considered Emmaleigh but it looks a bit strange.
Hm...
Cait vs Kate
Emmaleigh vs Elizabeth vs Aislinn
I guess we're sort of down to agreeing on:
Cait Elizabeth/Emma Leigh/Emmaleigh OR
Kate Aislinn

keep Cait, I really like the spelling. you're not doing it to be "creative", it reflects your heritage.
I have to say I prefer Emmaline to Emmaleigh. because it (EmmaLeigh) seems very close to Emily. what about Milly or Milla? I think both are very cute.
Kate Aislin is , cute but I like your other options better.
playing around with family names and preferences, here are some options I came up with. do you like any of these:
Milla Cait Leigh
Cait Milla Leigh
Betty Cait
Bettina Cait
Milly Bettina Cait
Emmaline Bette
Milla Bette Leigh

Kate Aislinn is adorable. My favorite.

I like Cait Emmaline and Lily Cait the best.
I would prob use Emmeline (Emm-e-leen) and Liliana ('Lily' as a nickname)
