Help[Opinions] Re: Emmélise
in reply to a message by Delphi_Blue
Because of the accent mark, in French it would be said em-ay-LEES. In English, it would end up being more like EM-ay-lees or EM-eh-lees. It might also end up being said like EM-eh-leez in English, with the 'z' sound. It appears to be a blend of names beginning with Em (such as Émile, Emma, Emilia )+ Élise, a form of Elisabeth.
I think it's lovely! Definitely different and distinctive, but in a good way. Has a sweet vintage feel.
Emmy is a good nickname. I like it best spelled Emmy.
Emmélise Josephine (or Joséphine, the French way)
Emmélise Josette
Emmélise Pearl
Emmélise Rose
Emmélise Rosemary
Emmélise Jeannette
Emmélise Violet
Emmélise Hélène ("ay-LEN")
Emmélise Marianne
Emmélise Maria
Emmélise Françoise
Emmélise Cecilia
Emmélise Dominique
Emmélise Catherine
Emmélise Marguerite (or Margaret)
Emmélise Annette
Emmélise Christine
Emmélise Gabrielle
Emmélise Victoria
Emmélise Raphaëlle
Emmélise Clémence
Emmélise Noëlle
It seems to me French names work well with Emmélise, which makes sense. :P

Thanks for your input :)
I prefer the -ay sound in the middle to an -eh, which is why I'd personally choose to use the accent rather than skip it, although I realise in English it's often going to be Em-eh-lees and I'm ok with that. I'd be saying Em-ay-lees though.
I like a lot of your combos, my favourites are Emmélise Pearl, Emmélise Catherine, Emmélise Raphaëlle & Emmélise Noëlle.
I've been wanting to pair it with Élodie, even though I usually stay away from so many repeating sounds, I really kind of like Emmélise Élodie. I feel like it could work depending on the surname maybe. Or maybe thats just wishful thinking! (I really love Élodie).
And my guess it's either a blend of Elise with the Em names (probably Emma) or possibly a more frilly twist on Emmeline. Either way, I find it really sweet and melodic. I'm glad someone else likes it too :)
