I prefer this name to Emma and Emily.

Emmeline is gorgeous! It's my absolute favorite name at the moment. I do prefer it pronounced emma-line instead of emma-leen though *blush*. I love the nickname Millie.

This is a very pretty name for a girl. I like it much better than the terribly overused Emily and Emma and I'd suggest using it an an alternative. Besides, you can still use the same nicknames, Em and Emmy.

Emmeline is a great name to have and I hope it doesn't become overly popular like Emma and Emily. It is pronounced emma-leen.

This was my grandmother's name, she went by Emmy and I always planned to name one of my children after her. But sadly I have had All boys.

Can also be pronounced "em-u-lien".

I really like this name - Emmeline and Emmaline. I think that, truly, the name can be pronounced Emma-LEEN, Emma-LINE, and Emma-LYNN, and be accepted. There's not one specific way. Remember Emmeline Pankhurst? Her name was pronounced Emma-LINE.

This name is cute. I'm quite surprised it hasn't touched the top 1000 though, with Emma and Emily at the top!

Emmeline is a gorgeous name! I adore it. I like it best when pronounced Emma- Line. And you can still use the nicknames Emma or Emmy. My favorite combo ever is Emmeline Rowan.

Also pronounced EM-u-line.

I highly prefer this name to the overused Emily, and I also think this name sounds more mature. I won't name my potential child Emmeline, as the name must have some Christian background, but I do like the fact that this was the name of Emmeline Pankhurst. It's very pretty, and it looks much prettier than Emily as well.

Very pretty. Not exactly a personal favorite, but nice if you don't want your child mixed in with a bunch of "commoners". ; )

There isn't just one right pronunciation of this name. Ever since it was used it has always been pronounced as either Emma-line, Emma-leen and Emma-lynn so you can just choose the pronunciation you prefer. I like Emma-line.

I personally ADORE Emmeline, and think that it fits in BEAUTIFULLY with todays trends of Emily and Emma, as well as Madeline and Madeleine (both MAD-uh-line).

Very very pretty. I prefer the pronunciation EMMA LEEN. : )

_Emmeline_ (1788) is a famous early Gothic novel by English author Charlotte Smith, who was an influence on Austen and Dickens.

Emmeline was the name of the girl played by Brooke Shields in The Blue Lagoon. The character was usually called Em.

Sometimes my mom jokingly calls me Emmeline in a fake British accent, pronounced "EM-ə-lien" with a hard "I" sound. (My real name is Emilie.) Her pronunciation sounds a lot more natural to me than Emmeleeeen. Generally I prefer names that end "-ine" to be pronounced like that, like "eye" - Madeline, Caroline, Rosaline, Clementine, etc. But there are exceptions of course, like Evangeline (eeeeen). I guess the Emmeleeeeeen pronunciation is growing on me since I first saw it on this site, although I still prefer Emmeliiiine.

Actor Christian Bale has a daughter named Emmeline, born March 27, 2005.

This is a lovely, elegant name to use if you like Emma or Emily but aren't fond of their commonness. I like the nickname Emmy as well.

This is a beautiful name. Although I prefer the pronunciation Emma-Lynn, any pronunciation is nice.

Very pretty, but I have no doubt it will become popular due to its similarity to Emily and Emma. That's why I won't use it.

Emmeline Grangerford was a minor character (only referenced to) in Huck Finn; she was like a 19th century Goth kid. :)

I pronounce this name Emma-leen.
I love it. :)
Truly beautiful.

My English Grandmother's name, only spelled Emelene. I always thought my Grandfather was calling her "Evelyn", until watching the BBC and heard it being pronounced "Emmalynn"! I love the spelling with all E's.

Emmeline (pronounced Emma - LINE like CaroLINE) was one of my ancestor's names, and we gave our second daughter that name. She is a teenager now. Some people try to call her Emma - LEEN, while some get it right. We LOVE her name, and so do others who hear it - many for the first time. Most importantly, she loves the name. It's beautiful and classic and a nice change from all of the trendy names of the day.
