Curious

What do you like better?
Bailey Emma or Ariana Emma

I can't decide anymore. Funny thing is I'm not pregnant or anything but I have my heart set on giving my first daughter the same middle name as my best friend.

Bailey Emma, definitely!

I've never liked the name "Bailey", but I think Emma sounds better with it than with Ariana. :)

Same here, on both counts.

I actuall really like both. I think Ariana is more unique, I'd go with that one. Pretty names.

Bailey and Emma are both beautiful names, but I don't feel that 'Bailey Emma' flows too well..

Ariana Emma is the better of the two, but for some reason it sounds funny to me.. maybe because they both end in 'a'.

Emma Bailey, however, sounds the best to me =)

We're naming our daughter (due 3/6/06) Bailey, and I was trying to get my husband to agree to Bailey Emma. I love that name! (He didn't go for it, so her middle name is still up for grabs.)

it's a tough name to pick a good middle name for. I've changed the middle name I want to go with it 3 times now.

I don't really like the name Bailey, but I don't think 'Ariana Emma' flows well I'm afraid. Ariana Bailey Emma would work if you're not against 2 middle names :)

not against it...have 2 myself!

Ariana Emma

bailey emma is the better of the two, but both bailey and ariana are little girl names that i personally dont think convert well into adulthood. i like emma bailey a lot. :)

Hmmm, not a lot of consensus on this one. I think Ariana Emma sounds better because of the 4-2 syllable pattern. Bailey Emma sounds choppy to me. Plus I just don't like Bailey.

I like Ariana better as a first name, but I don't like it paired with Emma. So, I woulld go with Bailey. I deleted my first comment earlier because it made no sense, and then forgot I was going to repost this, lol.

I don't think either of them flow well. I agree with a comment above about Emma Bailey.

Bailey Emma sounds the best to me.

Ariana Emma. Bailey is awful, it's an alcoholic drink.

I'm not a big fan of Bailey at all. So Ariana Emma. :)
