Having second thoughts

Hey. Last month I posted about finding a name for my second daughter. We had decided on Emmeline Claire. I love this name and if we lived in a bubble I would use it.

This morning I was reading our paper and there was a picture of 8 little girls ages 3-5. Their names were (I am not kidding): Emma B, Grace W, Emma-Grace L, Lexy L, Madison R, Emma S, Emma Rose J and Gracelynn J.

As much as I like the name Emmeline Claire, I know that people will call her Emma or Emmy and I really don't want my daughter to be just another one of those Emma's in the picture. Or Emma Claire.

We are looking for another name. It would be nice if she were to have the same initials E.C. but its not a requirement. We have bought a few things for her room with those initials on it, but are willing to eat the cost if it means finding the perfect name.

Her sister's name is Annelise Kate. Thanks

I would hesitate to have another Emma as well, but it's your decision. I can suggest some alternatives to you, though ^^

My first thought was Elodie. Elodie Claire sounds wonderful, and Elodie has kind of the same feel as Annaliese in my head.. You'd get the nickname Ellie though, so maybe not?
Other E names to consider:
Edith
Elena
Elise
Eliza
Eloise
Elsa
Elspeth
Emiliana (you'd still get the Em part, but more nn possibilities like Lia, Milly and Ana, this was my second thought after Elodie, but it mught be too similar to Annaliese...)
Emmanuelle
Esme
Evelyn
Elora
Elea
Elvira

Same style as Annaliese (IMO):
Melisande
Camellia
Bryony
Florence
Hermione
Victoria/Veronica
Adelaide
Lenore
Katherine
Lucia
Margot
Ophelia
Primrose
Rosamund
Selene
Sonya
Susanna
Starla
Virginia

Let me know if any of these tickle your fancy so I can suggest more ^^
Good luck!

Emmeline Claire is a really pretty name, but I definitely see your point with there being so many Emmys out there.

I made this list before there were other posts, so sorry for repeats:

Emilia
Eleanora
Eliana
Elena
Elodie
Evalina
Evangeline
Esme/Esmerelda
Eulalie/Eulalia
Eloise/Eloisa

Clara
Cecilia
Chloe
Catherine
Cleo
Charlotte
Ciel
Colette
Caroline
Celine
Calandra
Calista
Clementine
Corinne/Corinna
Camille/Camellia
Coralie/Coraline/Cordelia

I love Esme Cecilia and Emilia Charlotte! I also like Evalina Camille.

For the C I really like
Charlotte
Claire
Caroline (I get a bit of the Emmeline in that)

For the E's:
Evelyn - will this be really popular too?
Elizabeth - popular, but classic, but too popular?
Esther
Ella - too popular?

Annelise and

Evelyn - very pretty - too popular?
Ethelene - this sounds like a chemical
Evalena - very pretty
Edelweiss - I like the thought of this, but is it too out there?
Elspeth - I kind of like.

Annelise and

Corinna - I think I like Corinne better
Cornelia
Coralie
Claudia
Christina - maybe
Celestine
Catherine
Caroline - like

Here are some "E" names:

Evangeline
Eulalia

Here are some other names that I think go well with Annaliese:

Birgitta
Henrietta
Mirabelle

Good Luck!

My first thought was Elodie. Elodie Claire sounds wonderful, and Elodie has kind of the same feel as Annaliese in my head.. You'd get the nickname Ellie though, so maybe not?
Other E names to consider:
Edith - not warming up to.
Elena
Elise - too close to Annelise
Eliza - I think I would go with Elizabeth and call her Eliza
Eloise - I like, too close to Annelise?
Elsa
Elspeth
Emiliana (you'd still get the Em part, but more nn possibilities like Lia, Milly and Ana, this was my second thought after Elodie, but it mught be too similar to Annaliese...)- I think I would prefer to stay away from Em names all together
Emmanuelle - ditto
Esme
