Emily Rose? Is it too common?

I love Emily but because it’s such a common name I felt like I should choose a slightly more unique middle name but I can’t help but love Emily Rose, even though I know it’s a popular pairing it’s so pretty.

Thoughts?

Horror movie.

I like Emily Rose but it is very popular & I've met quite a few.

What about Emily Rosa or Emily Rosanne/Rosanna or another similar name? Or Emily Rose with a 3rd middle name?

I think Emily is beautiful and timeless. Emily Rose is a lovely name but I have to admit I didn’t know there was a horror movie with that name!

Beautiful classic names go well together

I love Emily, I was either going to have Emily Elizabeth, I'm not normally one to like alliteration but I love that. Or Emily Jean. I think Rose is a filler name, but it is beautiful, and if you like it, go for it x

In 2007 we were going to call dd Emily Rose. Until they brought out the film The Exorcism of Emily rose.
We went off it.
I still love the name but I would always think of the horror film.
