I have always loved the name Emma but it is so popular (not pregnant just talking to hubby) so I want to name a girl Emmaleigh pronounced Emily..... any thoughts?

I have an 11-year old Emma and have never come across another DC with the same name and only know one adult Emma. I think it's just well-known rather than used a lot.

I like Emma and Emily but have to agree I am not keen on that spelling.
Emma is on our list and Emily would be if it wasn't my 1 year old god daughter's name.

Emmaleigh is a joke, right?
I don't know an Emma under 17. But Emily is very very popular among the under 6s, that's true (were 3 or 4 in DS reception intake alone).

I know lots of Emilys of all ages from 0 to 60s, and only 2 Emmas (aged 36 and 1). I'd stick with Emma.

I don't think Emma is particularly popular at the moment. Lovely name, no need to change it.

I only know 3 Emmas, one is 28, one is 36 and one is 3. Emmaleigh is unneccessarily long, she would always be spelling it.

Emily is a much more popular name then Emma.
Don't go with Emmaleigh!

I don't actually think Emma is that popular in RL. Seems to be well known rather than well used.

Please don't spell that name like that. It's awful.

Emma and Emily are both lovely i don't think either are extremely popular I don't know any baby's/children called Emma and only one called Emily! Emmaleigh is to many unnecessary letters IMO
