Emmaline Margaret as part of this sibset?

[home-to-me.livejournal.com]

What do you think of these as a sibset? My nephew is Dominick Anthony. Nieces are Lilliana Rae and Scarlett Meena. (my brother's name is Michael Anthony Dominic, so that's where Dominick's name came from. My paternal grandmother was Lillian, hence Lilliana. And SIL's grandmother was Philomena, hence Meena).

Sister-in-law is tossing around the idea of another baby (YAY!), and has said she's definitely use Emmaline Margaret for a girl. What do you think? I'd suggested the name about a year ago when she said she'd want a third baby of her own (nephew is my brother's, but not my SIL's biologically). I personally love it. And Margaret is my real first name, and was my mother's name. They'd probably nickname her Emma (other girls are "Lily" and "Scar," lol, though I call Scarlett "Scarly"), though I also suggested Lena as a nickname, and SIL likes that too. :)

Also, any ideas for boy names? Their theme is that is has to be eight letters, can't be TOO off-the-wall, but can't be super-common either. I like Benjamin, but neither of them likes it (plus I just had a cousin name a baby boy Benjamin). Middle name would be either Michael (brother's name), William (dad's name, grandfather's name, brother's name) or Robert (SIL's father's name).

I really like that sibset, even though I prefer Dominic. They are all such nice names, and I think Emmaline goes well with the others, too.

Boy names...

Harrison
Emmanuel
Jonathan
Laurence
Lysander
Matthias
Theodore

...Sterling?

I prefer it spelled Dominic as well. His mother was like 17? 18? And instead of FINDING OUT HOW TO SPELL IT, lol, she gave him the name and spelled it how she thought it should be spelled. Err. My brother didn't even know what the name was going to be until she'd named him (they weren't together at the time).

Anderson and Jonathan are nice. :) I'll pass those along. I sort of like Sterling,but my other brother has a friend named Sterling, so I don't think they'd use it, based on that.

Emmaline Margaret is very nice. I wouldn't go with Emma is a nickname just because it's such a common first name on it's own. Maybe Emmy instead and Lena is really nice also.

Emmerson for a boy

I'd love to use the name Emmeline (spelt with an e) if ever I have more children, and would probabl nickname her Emmi/Emmy.

That's pretty. I didn't ask her how she'd spell it, I just assume with an a. :) Emmy/Emmi is cute!
