I like it, it was top of my list for dd2 if she turned out to be a boy.

Yeah I think it is spelt Emil in German - that book Emil and the detectives is German. But I would spell it Emile. Glad to hear positive opinions, I vowed a while back not to post my name choices as you get really worried when people react negatively!!

As for the Latvian woman - oh dear!

I know two men called Emil and a little boy called Emile. I think it's a gorgeous, gorgeous name.

I kid you not. Her son was more than a little pissed off.

I mis-read that as Emily at first as I have seen it spelt Emilie.

Could be embarrassing when he's older!
