Emma or Emily

Husband and I can't decide between the two, we both like both but he prefers Emily, I worry that it's more popular and I don't want her being Emily no2 or more in school. We have chosen a family name for the middle of Violet. Emily Violet or Emma Violet? We don't actually know it's a girl so have all this to come with boy names too!

I like Emily more too, it's more sweet I think. I am not sure of popularity but somehow I feel that won't be too much of a problem because surely she'll be the only Emily in your home :)

Emily.

Emily.

My best friend is an Emma and despite that I've never warmed to the name Blush

I like just Emmy too, but appreciate it's too "nicknamey" for many people.

We've gone James Bond with DD And she's just known as M.

Emily, so you can call her Millie (love that.)

Honestly, they're both quite popular so I wouldn't let that sway you!
