Looking for opinions please, we have our boys name selected but struggling to agree on a girls.
DH has suggested Emerald...I actually quite like it and could imagine the nn Eme/Emmy. It would also go with our surname which is only 3 letters.
We know people called Emma and Emily so they're out of the question.
What is everyone's thoughts on it? I've never met one so don't know how it would be perceived.
Many thanks!

Sorry, it sounds trashy to me...

I like it. It's bold but I think it's retro rather than trashy, like Pearl or Ruby.

Reminds me of the PG Wodehouse character Emerald Stoker.

No I think it's an ugly name. Starts off ok but the "ruhld" sound is actually quite ugly for a girl's name

I quite like it...

If Ruby is an acceptable name then there's no reason why Emerald shouldn't be

Sorry, my first thought was trashy. Like Destiny or Chardonnay.
