Emily??

DH and I both love the name Emily, and it fits really well with our surname, but is it too popular? There are so many beautiful girl names but none of them seem quite 'right' other than Emily. Don't want people to think we didn't try!

Middle name would be Freda after DH's grandmother.

I’m in my early 30s and my name is Emily and I love my name.

It doesn't matter whether people think you've "tried"... Yes, it is an extremely common name, but lots of people have extremely common names.

It actually sounds really fresh these days

Emily is one of my favourite names
A complete classic

Emily Freda is lovely. It has been popular for 20 years plus, but not as many Emily's being born as a few years ago.
