I prefer the Ermengarde spelling, but regarding the way the name *sounds*, I think it's very pretty. It reminds me of Howard Vandergelder's niece from 'Hello, Dolly!', with her floofy dresses and pretty ribbons, and her super-tall sweetheart, Ambrose. (another name I really like)

George I of England brought two mistresses with him from Hanover (Germany). One was named Ermengarde Melusina von der Shulenburg. I love to say that one out loud. Such fun. "Ermengarde Melusina von der Shulenburg." Try it.

I'd love to meet a little Ermingarde / Ermengarde one day! For combos, how about:

Ermingarde Sophie
Ermingarde Dorothea (George I's errant wife whom he locked up for having an affair -- quite the hypocrite)(I know it's too much to put the mistress with the wife)
Ermingarde Meadow
Ermingarde Caroline ("caro-LEEN") / Carlotta
Ermingarde Lily
Ermingarde Petra
Ermingarde Maria
Ermingarde Wilhelmina
Ermingarde Lovisa / Louisa

Ermingarde Linden (the association of Berlin's "Unter den Linden" adds that Germanic flair)
Ermingarde Frederica

Ermingarde Linnea ("li-NAY-uh")
Ermingarde Ghislaine
Ermingarde Manon

I like Ermingarde, but I strongly prefer Ermengarde, which I consider one of the most sumptuously beautiful names I've ever encountered. I'm absolutely in love with it.
