I think the name emily is lovely and i have been thinking about the name for my baby but i'm worried it might sound abit dated on a baby in 2022. I recently looked up the top names in the UK and it is number 19 on the list. Is it common for little kids nowadays? I remember the name blowing up in the late 90s/2000s the last time it was number one was in 2003 and 2004 but i'm curious if anyone knows any young children with the name, i'd imagine the majority of girls named emily where 13+ now.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My dc are 14 and 11, it certainly not an uncommon name amongst their peers.

You can see the numbers year on year here:

This is an interesting one, because it only left the top 5 a few years ago. But in numbers, it's been declining since the mid-90s. When it was the #1 name there were fewer each year than when it was #4. More diversity of girls' names now.

But there's still plenty of them each year. I don't think it's dates yet. I know one toddler Emily (but three toddler Emmelines!).

There are loads at my children’s primary school, at least one per year group. I also know another 3 under 7, outside of school.
