OP are you living in Wales ? Makes huge difference since most people here never heard of it or confusing it with a total different girls name!!!

ForeverEyesOfBlue · 05/11/2016 15:44

I like it!

Why would you call a girl Emlyn? Oh god that has really tickled me - a girl called Emlyn GrinGrin

I think it's a bit dated OP. The youngest one I know is 40s

I looked at it and thought it was a nice girls name

It's a boys name... So it's for a boy.

For a boy? Too similar to emmeline. For a girl? Why not emmeline?

NuggetofPurestGreen · 05/11/2016 15:22

I like it.

Hughs. From that 80s sports show - former Welsh rugby player (still Welsh, but former rugby player obvs).

I like it!

For me it's forever associated with Emlyn Hughes and dreary weekends with endless football on the telly.
