Emmelise is
It’s a Québécois name. I suppose Emmaliese could be an alternate spelling, I don’t know if that particular version has a history of useage or not.
Either way, I prefer Emmelise. Emma- changes the pronunciation of it just enough to make me not like it.

I've never seen this spelling before; but both Emmelise and Emmalise are in use. If you trust LinkedIn, then most of the bearers of this name live in the southern hemisphere: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc.
For a short time, Emmelise was in my Top 10.

You're probably right. Can't speak for Oz or NZ, but merger names are widely used here in South Africa, probably less so than before, with globalisation providing more choices. But back in the day, when Afrikaans-speaking families in particular used to follow very rigid naming rules (first son named after paternal grandfather, second son after maternal gf, daughters pretty much the same, and so on) there was a risk of several cousins having identical names, and of course people coped, but some of them chose not to and went the merger route.
A friend's younger sister, Jeanine (not a typo), married a Rudolf and they named their first daughter Runine. Which makes Emmalise look positively ordinary!

I also have a cousin Kenneth, always called Ken;I barely knew him, as he is a generation older than me.
He has twin daughters, one named Kendra, the other, some other name that incorporates "Ken". can't remember it now.
(I should say, this family has mostly lived in California, we were not ESTRANGED, I'm in far-east Canada.)
