Re: Flow question. WWYD?
I'd go for Emmeline Marie Elizabeth if it were me, personally, but if Marie doesn't have that extra something to you, then I say go for Emmeline Belle Elizabeth. Having said that, I'd really love to see Emmeline Eliza Belle or Emmeline Elizabeth Belle. Can I ask why you're going for two middle names if you only really make the first one known? Simply out of curiosity, of course - I actually prefer two middle names myself.

They're honouring names. Marie is a name my MOH picked because I don't think her name, Michelle fit. Too long. Belle was her childhood nickname. Elizabeth is a name my grandmother chose because none of her names fit either.
I really do want Elizabeth at the end. My first daughters initials are ARA, I think it'd be cool if this one had that pattern as well.
Both of Adrianna's middle names are honouring too. Rose for me & my grandmother and Antoinette for DH's grandmother. Antoinette is her second middle name as well.
Lots of DH's (including DH) family has two middle names.

Ooh, I see! I've thought about letting the people I'd like to honour choose names if I don't feel like they work with the first names I choose, it's really a nice idea. Antoinette is such a cool name to have in your family!

It actually went pretty well. We're keeping our first name choices secret except for the people we're honouring.
MOH gave me quite a long list and let me choose, then I realized how much I liked Belle. When I asked my grandma to choose a name she said Elizabeth right away. It's her favourite girl name and my Aunt's middle name as well.
When we thought we were gunna go with Scarlett as a first name I asked her if she could think of an S name, which she had no problem with at all.
