Girls Name Starting with "E" and "J"

D.E. asks from Mineral Wells, TX

Hello moms! I am having number 2 daughter in about 5 weeks and I still have not nailed down a name for her. I waited until our first daughter was born to decide then I let my husband pick it out. But this time it is MY choice! :) I am wanting to use my mom's name some how but I can't figure out what to do. Her initials are EJ and her maiden name is Ash. Her middle name is Jean but for my own reasons I don't want to use that in anyway. Her first name is Eula and you can't do much with that either. (She HATES her name by the way) But I would like to use her initials or maiden name some how. Her grandmother's name was Emmaline, which I love, but can't decide on a name with "J" that will flow with it. I could also use the E as the middle. I just can't decide! Any thoughts?! Thank you!!!

What can I do next?

My name is E.(like Melodie without the M). It is French(I'm not), but it is a popular name there. I have a daughter with a middle name Jordan. So,
E. Jordan(just a thought).

I am about to have my last child which is a boy. So the name I have been holding onto for years for a girl will never be used and I absolutely LOVED it. It was Violet James. I know James is typically a boys name but I think it is sooo cute and unique as a girls name and it goes with everything!

.....by the way I'm E.

I LOVE Emmaline! Such a gorgeous name!! I would suggest keeping the middle name shorter. I have an Elizabeth Aiden. After filling out so many forms, I'm glad the middle name isn't as long as the first. :-P

Emmaline Ashton
Emmaline Jade

I love Emmaline Ash too. I think when it's family names, it doesn't matter to me as much on how popular they are. It's a family name & you are honoring & creating a legacy. I love Emmaline. I'm sure it will get shortened to Emma. Ashlyn, Ashton, Ashley are possibilities too, but do not start w/an E of course. Emmaline Jane is cute, and EJ is a cute nickname. Good luck!

Our third little girl will be here in 20 days and her name will be Samantha Jayne. I liked the unusual spelling and Jayne would compliment Emmaline as well, in my opinion:).

I love how you are usuing your moms name/initials. Since you already love Emmaline, what about Joy for a middle name? You could even call her Emma-Joy, I think double names are too cute! Blessings to you! Hope you find the perfect name!

My 2 daughters both have middle names that were their great-grandmothers: Eleanor and Josephine. I like the name Emmaline too, that's very pretty and it's different than just "Emma", which is also pretty but very common now.
You could go with:

Emmaline Josephine
Emmaline Juliana
Emmaline June
Emmaline Joy

I just had another thought: Is it pronounced "Emmalyn"? Maybe you could change the spelling to make it easier for people to pronounce. My girls first names are Kaitlyn and Madelyn, and I chose the "lyn" spelling so that people will not think it's pronounced "line" with a long i... just a thought.

answers from Austin on

I like Emmaline. Very pretty. However Emily and Emma has been quite popular in the past several years and realistically she will probably get a nickname since Emmaline is a longer name. You might want to proactively call her "Lina" if you don't want her to be "Emma". I also like Evalina and Eris. As for middle names, I think a short name would compliment Emmaline: Jewel, Jillian or Jill, Jess, or Jane.

Eileen is a name that is old, but being used again today. My mother hated her name (Ida) and made me promise I would never name a child after her. So I named my daughter after her sister, Charlotte, who was most like my mother. My daughter loves her name.

I like just using Ash as is. . .But as others shared, a lot of variations on that.
My suggestion though, Emmaline Joy.

LOVE Emmaline! what a great name. Emmaline joy or Emmaline Jane are my favorites. I am having a girl in two weeks and we are naming her Ellie. This is my third girl. I know finding names can be so hard! I have a very unusual name and was named after both of my grandmothers (V. Jean) I love my name and think it is so special.
