Nice. Emilie/Emily Rose is v common around here though. If that's important to you?

His initials will be HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) if that bothers you at all.

Rose is a nice enough name but seems to be the generic middle name for all little girls. A bit like Louise was in the 1970s.

Why the 'ie' on Emily just out of interest? the name is lovely and your middle names etc are nice but I can't get past the 'ie'

I think the Harrison Robert thomas and Harrison Thomas Robert both sound fine, infact quite distinguished.

For your little girl I would add another middle name:

Emilie Rose Elizabeth

Emilie Amelia Rose

They go very well with Alana

Not sure why i went for the ie spelling. Was wondering about another middly name for her but couldnt think of 1. Not sure about using elizabeth as its my younger sisters name. Like amelia as that was on the list as a first name for a while.

Am not sure about the "ie" in Emilie. Won't she spend her life correcting people who've spelt it Emily?
Lovely names though

Emily/Emilie does seem to be a very common name for girls these days though.

Emily Isabella Rose?

Agree with Egwene. Emily Isabella Rose is better than Christina. It flows better when you say the name.

I like the -ie spelling for Emilie. DS had an Emilie in his class a few years ago; her mother was French. She was a sweet girl too.

I love Emilie Christina Rose -- really beautiful name combination. Isabella Rose sounds like a question.

the christina is after my great gran. want them to have their own first names but the middle names all have a family connection

I prefer Emily rather than the 'ie' ending.

I also prefer Emily Christina Rose, Isabella is soooooo common these days that I wouldn't use it with Emily and Rose, Christina is much less common so I think woud stand the test of time much better.

I like Emily - don't like the 'ie' ending. Am not fond of Harrison but like Robert and Thomas.

Emily Hermione Rose
Emily Beatrice Rose
Emily Juliet Rose
Emily Harriet Rose
Emily Christabel Rose

Christina nice.

I don't like the -ie ending either, I'd go for Emily

I think Emily Christina is beautiful and doesn't need to ubiquitous Rose stuck on the end like a dead weight!
