Marielle<br>
Emmaline<br><br>
DH pronounced one differently than I would and I'm concerned about the other. Thanks!

 

[laughymama]

Please don't take my word for it...I am notorious for mispronouncing names.<br><br>
At first glance I read Marielle - Mary-ul....then I looked again and read it like it looks: Mary-Elle<br><br>
I read Emmaline: Emma-Line. I do have a friend with a daughter named Emmalyn (lynn instead of line) though so I'm questioning myself on that one.

Mary-elle and Emma-leen.

I agree.

Mary Elle<br>
Emma line (like a straight line)<br><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><i>Posted via Mobile Device</i></span>

Marry-el<br>
Emma-leen

I think Marielle is sure to be pronounced maryELLE.<br><br>
I pronounce Emmaline as Emmaleen but I imagine that some would say Emmalyne.<br><br>
Both names are beautiful but I am particularly fond of Marielle. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/thumb.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="thumbs up">

Marry-el<br>
Emma-line (rhymes with fine)

 

[AutumnAir]

Marry-ELLE (Not Mary, but 'marry', like the verb)<br>
EMmaleen

Rolling the r often sounds much like a d sound <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/winky.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink">

Like this.<br><br>
What were you pronouncing these as, OP?

 

[lisalulu]

Thanks!<br><br>
So I knew a friend of a friend named Emmaline (Emma-line) but when dh saw it, he thought Emma-leen and that is how the name book I have has it listed.<br><br>
Marielle-I was wanting more of a French pronunciation so Mahree-elle. Thats the one that I think most people in America would say Mary-elle. Its still pretty that way though.

 

[MJB]

I'd say Ma-ree-ell but wouldn't know whether it was emma-leen or emma-line.

 

[Narmowen]

Emma-line. That's how I've always heard it pronounced.<br><br>
And Mary-ella, or Mary-el.

 

[osker]

My first guess what Mahree-elle, so some people in the US would pronounce it that way!

 

[Neuromancer]

I'd say<br><br>
Marielle --> Mary EL<br>
Emmaline --> EM uh leen

 

[AmyKT]

I would want to say Mah-ree-ell for the first. I think that's very pretty.<br><br>
Emma-line for the second. I love it, too.

Pretty!!!<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/love.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="love">

 

[RedOakMomma]

DDCC<br><br>
Mary-elle<br>
Emma-line (or possibly Emma-leen)

 

[BlackSheepPDX]

My readings were:<br><br>
Mah-ri-ELLE (followed by Mary-ELLE)<br><br>
I split on Emma-leen vs Emma-line....could see people reading it either way easily, but I like Emma-leen better. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">
