Help[Opinions] I love Emmeline (m)
in reply to a message by Shari
Its one of my top names right now and if I had to rename myself, its definitely a name I'd consider using (other than Sarai). However, I don't like it spelt Emaline, sorry.

ditto; prefer Emmeline, and here's why
To my eye, Emaline looks as though it should be prn EE-mah-lyn / -line (as in "straight line"). I think it's the solitary M. By contrast, Emmeline, having that double M, seems clearly to be prn EMM-eh-lyn / -line (though I like the former). The E in the middle, as opposed to an A (Emmaline), gives Emmeline a French feel (to me, anyway, because of Emeline, I suppose), which I really like.
