One of her students at Kings College is Emmaline :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-125474 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:29:39 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 125474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Emma, but I also know about a dozen Olivias (not exaggerating) so I sort of "over" it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-125461 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:21:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 125461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I was just going to suggest Emmaline, but then I saw it in your post.<br /> I don't think it would be copying, it's a classic name that has been around for a long time! And I think it is sooooo beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-125406 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:41:25 +0000 SugarplumsMom 125406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love your name choices! They're very close to the names we picked! DH loves the name Olivia and we're using it for a middle name =)</p> <p>BTW, I voted Emma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-125342 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:01:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 125342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chrispygal: I love Emerson - but it's a family member's surname :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-125338 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:59:06 +0000 chopsuey 125338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like just Emma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-125336 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:58:08 +0000 chrispygal 125336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Emerson? </p> <p>Love the name Emma - very cute. We have similar debates with names. Abigail is the only name DH likes but I'm not sold on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-125065 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:12:44 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 125065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece's name is Emma.

The main character in my novels is Emelin. So I happen to think that Emmalyn (or whatever spelling thereof) is a FANTASTIC name - it makes me kind of ecstatic every time I hear it in real life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124931 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:37:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 124931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Emma.

The daughter in that show is named Emmalyn. I always thought it was so different and interesting. I'd go with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124810 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:55:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 124810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks guys!

It's so classic and pretty. Seriously, I vote with your DH here. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124759 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:32:44 +0000 hilsy85 124759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love just emma.

It's a shame because it's so pretty! I think that Emmalyn is also very cute, and unique! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124748 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:23:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 124748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Emmalyn or somethign similar, gives her a couple choices of nicknames when she's older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124743 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:19:01 +0000 MsLipGloss 124743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the name Emma - I also like Emmaline. But it sounds to me like you are leaning a little more toward Emma.</p> <p>I love the idea of keeping it simple, i.e., no long name just for the sake of having a long name.</p> <p>And I totally get you wanting to make your DH's life. :) My DH suggested a name that wasn't on my short list, but he absolutely adores it, and his face just lights up when he calls butterbean by that name. I also like the name (more and more in the passing weeks), and I like it even more because he is so attached to it. It is now definitely the *front-runner,* although I am pretty sure we both already know that the name DH picked will be butterbean's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124737 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:15:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 124737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Emmalin. I saw it on Army Wives so I can't take the credit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124736 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:14:31 +0000 PBandBaseball 124736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece's name is Emalyn &amp; her sister, who is two, calls her Emmy. It is the most adorable thing ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124734 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:13:44 +0000 Rubies 124734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love just Emma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-might-have-a-winner#post-124732 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:12:17 +0000 sorrycharlie 124732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>alright..i swear i'll calm it down with the name posts soon :P we're between olivia and emma i think, but as much as i LOVE olivia (livvy!) I must be having a nice-sappy hormone day. I'm thinking of Emma because it will, quite possibly, make DH's life. no exaggeration. </p> <p>but now i'm torn - just Emma? or something like Emmalyn? I'm not one of those people who likes invented names or names spelled 'uniquely' just to be different, so I'm really not sure what people would perceive Emmalyn as. </p> <p>a girl I went to hs with named her daughter Emmaline, which is unique, so I don't wanna blatantly copy that! my only reasoning with the longer name is so she could have a 'full' name and a nickname.</p> <p>not that Emma isn't a full name. LOL. sheesh. anyway.. opinions? I promise I won't get offended! haven't even talked to DH about the second option yet anyway. </p>
