Emelaigne is atrocious, but Emmelaine is pretty!

Not a fan of these, they feel too excessive imo, but Emmaline is not a bad name, it just shortens to Emma which I find kind of boring.

Emmelaine is very beautiful and frilly, I like it. On the other hand, the Emelaigne spelling wants me to pronounce it as if it were French.

It's a pretty sound, but that Emelaigne spelling is unfortunate. The only way it would work is in a sort of medieval-inspired world, because it reminds me of those romantic, grand, but clunky feminine names of those eras, like Hildoara, Bertrada and Adalind and such.

Emmelaine is nice. How about Emalayne?

Are these mash up names, or real legitimate names? Seems like they are just cre8tive spellings.

I like Emmelaine but not Emelaigne. Emmelaine looks flowery and romantic. Emelaigne isn't bad on paper but it reads as more nasal thanks to the silent G.

Sorry, it isn’t my thing.

It hurts my eyes and ears, sorry.

I suppose if I really had to choose, I'd go for Emmelaine. At least it looks like what it is. Emelaigne looks like something a thirteen-year-old might consider sophisticated and original. IRL, I'd quite enjoy Emily Anne.
