Hi, I really like the name Emily but am put off by how popular it is! Although I think it will go nice with my odd surname (Crumb).

Any other suggestions please? Struggling to find many girl names that I like!!

It's lovely. It's popular because it's lovely.
I like Em and Millie for short too.

poster FourForYouGlenCoco & magpie17 - Thanks glad you agree, I think there is something lovely yet cool about Emily Crumb! Reminds me of Emily Blunt who is awesome!

I get the mixed views on here, it's great to learn what people think. Open to other suggestions too! :-) xx

Emily Crumb is a tremendous name!

It's very popular but then a lot of very good names are popular, I wouldn't choose it for this reason myself but if you love it go for it.

I only know one grown up Emily. Lovely name. Chic. I'd imagine an Emily to be a well behaved, warm child

I like Emily and Emma, but had two boys, and dh says that's enough, so neither for me!

That's my DD1s name, she's 9. To be fair I've not come across many Emily's her age but don't know how popular it is now!

Not my cup of tea at all. Sits with Sophie in my mind. Just boring and non interesting. Sorry.

FighterPilotsThumbs · 11/01/2016 20:55

I find it extremely boring.

I have a cousin Emily. She gets Em for short. Lovely name, it's on my favourite girls names list Smile

Emily Crumb is a FANTASTIC name, she will sound like a detective in a novel! Absolutely love it. I think Emily is lovely (and spelled properly, hurray). Didn't think it was that popular actually - I know quite a few adult Emilys but no children. Go for it!

SnuffleGruntSnorter · 11/01/2016 20:51

Really lovely name

pieceofpurplesky · 11/01/2016 20:49

The name Emily is beautiful. As are Alice, Olivia, Isobel. Beautiful even though popular.

Findingthisdifficult1234 · 11/01/2016 20:49

It's a lovely name!

Believeitornot · 11/01/2016 20:48

Who cares if it is popular.

I don't. My dd is called Emily and I've not come across any others (she's 3)

nextusername · 11/01/2016 20:47

It's a lovely name, popular for this reason.

LilacSpunkMonkey · 11/01/2016 20:33

I've got an Emily. I chose it because I like it.

Why is it an issue if it's popular? I never get what people have against popular names.
