What does everyone think of:

Elizabeth Cate Thompson

and

Emmaleigh Rose Thompson?


Here's the deal.

My mother (Catherine) wants a child named after her, but this means I have to throw Elizabeth in there somewhere (my fiancee's mother's name). I love the name Elizabeth, but I don't like the name Catherine. My mom knows this; plus, she always wanted to be called Cate. Hence, Elizabeth Cate.

Secondly, my fiancee is like obsessed with his older sister, Emily. He wants a child named after her but I strongly dislike the name; plus, I wouldn't want to leave my sister out (her name is Emma). So I thought it would be cute and clever to name a daughter Emmaleigh--that way, it sounds like Emily, but it includes my sister's name. My mom thinks we should make it two names though rather than one (Emma Leigh Thompson as opposed to Emmaleigh Rose or whatever).

I like the first one, but not really the second.

If you don't find any names you like within your family, you should just choose your own.
