First of all, my comment will be that I don't think one has to choose a name based on how "good" it would sound on a Caucasian child (this applies to any ethnicity, etc.)
I don't care for
Emile or
Emilio, but I would prefer
Emilio, just for the sound of it (
Emile looks and sounds incomplete). I would not think
Emile is a creative form of
Emily - that's just taking the whole "creatively spelling the name
Emily" too far.
