My name is Emmaline. My father wanted to name me Emma, but worried it was too popular, so he named me Emmaline instead. We pronounce it "Emma-line". I like that this name is uncommon, but I don't like correcting people on the pronunciation.

I much prefer to pronounce it Emma-line, but it's a really nice name in my opinion :)
This name sounds like the name of a little girl in an old fashioned children's book, and, in fact, there is such a book, "Emmaline and the Bunny." But watch out, I am predicting this name is going to surge in popularity.

Emmaline and Emmeline are both gorgeous alternatives to Emily and Emma (which, while pretty, are way too popular).
I prefer this name to Emma, although Emma is gorgeous shortened form. Emma Roberts and Emma Watson don't help the name's image. I prefer the pronunciation Emma-leen to Emmaline, but both are attractive. Emmaline has more class to it, and it's French!

I adore the name Emma, but Emmaline is a nice full name for Emma.
I have also seen the name Emmalyn and thought that was pretty too.

It might not be the proper pronunciation, but I pronounce it "Em-a-lien". After seeing the film version of "Anne of Avonlea", I think of a sweet (albeit troubled) little girl when I think of this name.
