[Opinions] Emerentiana
Thoughts on this name? It is the name of a Saint. Do you like Émerence?

Emerentiana is really long.
I prefer Emerentia, which I think is beautiful.
I don't care for Émerence.

Much too long! It's like vowel overkill.I do love all of it's variants though, like Emerentia, Emerenzia, and of course Émerence. I think the latter is my favorite by a small margin.

Much too long and complex, and Émerence sounds like a brand name.

Emerentiana is inordinately long and complicated! No doubt Émerence is fine if one is French.Here in South Africa we use Emerentia, pronounced Emma-Rensha. I find that too long for comfort as well, but I really like Rentia as a name in its own right, perhaps because of a school friend with that name. She was, I think, Rentia Elizabeth.
