I'm aware the name Emily has been popular for many years now.

How many Emilys do you know under the age of 5?

I know one who is 5 and none younger (although I don't know lots of little babies any more). I know lots of older ones, mostly between the ages of 16 and 30)

@Whatsyourflava Thankyou, not many as my and my DH can't agree on names. We were considering emmeline as an alternative to emily, however they sound so similar I think my dd would spend a lifetime correcting people. X

I think it was so popular 20-30 years ago that many of those Emily's are now the new mums so perhaps fewer babies being called it presently.

I know one baby Emily and many adult Emily's.

AliasGrape · 14/06/2020 09:01

None.

I’m an Early Years teacher and the last Emily I taught was around 4 years ago, so she’s around 8/9 now.

0 babies, 1 teenager and 1 adult

happystory · 14/06/2020 08:59

Quite a few in their 20s, a 4yo and a 7yo

SpaceSharkTea · 14/06/2020 08:58

I know it's not a whole lot to go on but I notice it being more far popular in Yorkshire than Kent. (Teacher for reference)

Yorkshire - 7 or 8 in a the primary school
Kent - 1 in the primary school

But there are lots of called Emily my own age (late 20s). So I wonder if it's more popular in certain geographical pockets or just a name that is reducing in popularity?

Letthemysterybe · 14/06/2020 08:57

One. And a few aged 7. And then a few aged 40.

Angel2702 · 14/06/2020 08:56

One in my family age 3.

FatalSecrets · 14/06/2020 08:56

None.

My daughter is one and she was the only one in her primary and there’s one other at her secondary who is several years older.

TenThousandSpoons · 14/06/2020 08:54

Zero.
I know one age 11 and one age 17.
Lovely name.

Whatsyourflava · 14/06/2020 08:53
