Has Emily had it's day?

Hi, both me and dh love the name Emily.

I think it's very pretty but said it may have been a bit too popular & maybe on it's way out of fashion so it will date fairly quickly. Am I overthinking it?

Only girl's name we can really agree on. DH loves Sophie but I am not loving it. I love Bethan but it sounds awful with our last name.

Any other suggestions welcome!

I am an Emily and I'm 26 and I like my name ! Grin Obviously I am biased but I think it's a classic name, throughout junior school (300 kids) and secondary school (1000 kids) I was the only Emily there, then when I went to uni I knew two other Emily's but that was it. For info, I am Welsh Borders location wise but I don't know if that makes any difference.

As a nickname I have been Em, Ems, Emmy or Milly, all nice versions.

Big thumbs up from me! Grin
