Help[Opinions] Re: Emmélise
in reply to a message by Delphi_Blue
French-Canadian olden-timey names are the coolest! That's where the most fun names from my family tree come from, for sure (though unfortunately I don't know many).
I think Emmélise is really pretty too. I'd say it like Emma-leez, though I think technically it should be somethng like eh-may-LEES?
Emme is a cute nn for it, if a little dull. It looks like it should be prn. like the letter M with that spelling, though. I like Emmie for an "emmy" pronunciation - it looks Frenchier!
I immediately thought of Emmélise Noëlle as a combo, but also:
Emmélise Lucie
Emmélise Chloe
Emmélise Maia
Emmélise Margot
Emmélise Marthe
Emmélise Lysandra
Emmélise Martine
Emmélise Esmée
Emmélise Irène
Emmélise Aurelia
Emmélise Doriane
Emmélise Josie
Emmélise Mireille
Emmélise Yvette
are those TOO french?

I know! So many beautiful ones. It was like Christmas stumbling on the lists. I love French ones so its awesome to have some new ones to explore. Elélia for example- how pretty is that? I haven't made it past the As and Es yet.
I've been saying it Em-ay-lees, although I realise she'd probably often get Em-eh-leese or Emma-lees (depending on the speakers accent) in English and I'm ok with that too.
Nice lists! You're not alone in wanting to pair it with a French name. I particalrly like Emmélise Noëlle, Emmélise Lucie, Emmélise Maia, Emmélise Aurelia & Emmélise Mireille.
One I came up with was Emmélise Élodie. A lot of repeating sounds, but for some reason I love it anyway.
Thanks for the ideas!
