Rebecca
Emily
Jessica
Dh and I like traditional 'normal' names that arnt too popular and even tho Emily and Jessica are in the top 10 most popular name lists every year where we are there are hardly any ! We already have a Nathan and Abbie so I thought these names fitted

Emily & Amelia are too similar for sisters, but for cousins they are fine IMO.

Rebecca, it's my name and you don't hear it often. I've never been known by Becky in fact I don't even answer to it. I also like Emily and know several. Not a fan of the name Jessica and that's due to the fact I was picked on at school by a girl of that name.

Summ3r I mainly go by Rebecca, very close friends call me Becca and an Aunt calls me Bex. My parents never shortend my name and my DM disliked Becky too.

I know lots more little Jessica's and Emily's than I do Rebecca's. But they're all lovely classic names. I know a Nathan, Abigail and Jessica family!

Rebecca and Jessica both sound very dated to me. I'm not keen on either. Personally I think Emily is nice but very, very boring. And I know a lot of them.

Love Emily and Rebecca, Jessica is a bit dated I think.

What about Alice?

Love Jessica. Still one of the most feminine, springy, pretty without being overly twee/girly/pretentious girls names out there. Jess a lovely, friendly nn too.

Then Rebecca- though a bit "straighter" for me.

Thanks everyone! Think Emily is my favourite followed very closely by Rebecca. Dh isn't found of Emily but I'm hoping it grows on him. He seams to really like Rebecca and doesn't like Jessica at all so I guess that gets rid of that one Hmm he's so hard to please. I'm happy with either Rebecca or Emily
