Emmabelle?

Came across this couple today who called their baby Emmabelle. First I've heard of it. I assume its made up but I quite like it. I think its better than Emily or Emma, which are far too common now.

I love Emma and Belle but don't like how they sound together.

I'm kind of sick of the 'belle' ending, to be honest.

My favorite Emma variation is Emmaline. Emma and Belle are both good names, but they don't sound good squashed together like that.

I agree with this completely.

I don't even like the names Emma or Emily, but I think that they'd both be preferable to this. Emma and Belle just don't sound nice together. If they liked Emma, they should've used that. If they liked Belle, they should've found a name that actually ends with it.

Waaaaay too "Gone With The Wind" for me.

Emily and Emma are common right now...but I also think they are quite classic. :)

Emmabelle was in GWTW?

[lovetokate.livejournal.com]

No, it just reminds me of that sort of thing. Just very overdone and "southern belle" style. ;)

It sounds ridiculous.

Most -belle names I cannot stand, because of the country/prairie house/plantation Southerner vibe most have, and Emmabelle is no exception. It's... cheesy.

To me it sounds like a messed up version of Annabelle. I still prefer Emily!

It's too cutesy, in my opinion. Emma + middle name Belle would have worked somewhat, but lumped together is too much.

It's not less trendy to me, it's like Isabelle (trendy) + Emma (trendy) = Emmabelle (made up + trendy).
