Emmett

[Onenightsleep]

We were thinking of Evan for DS2 but after "trying" it for a little while we not sure anymore.
Considering Emmett. Would love to read views on either really. Also, does Emmett remind you of Twilight?

... we ARE not sure anymore
Typo

LOVE it ! if my dd had been a boy this was going to be her name! if i ever have another baby (not likely :( ) and its a boy then he will be Emmett :)

doesnt remind me of twilight, does remind me of dr emmett brown from back to the future, but they are awesome films

It reminds me of Legally Blonde.

I prefer Evan. It reminds me of Emmet Till, which is a bit macabre.

I hate it.Evan is much nicer.

Emmett doesn't make me think of Twilight. It does make me think of the horrific murder of Emmett Till. Plus it's a derogatory name for tourists in Cornwall.

How about Elliot?

It makes me think of Emmett Till. Not sure whether you'd consider that a positive association, or not?

I really like the name though.

Emmet is Cornish for ant, and is used as a derogatory term for tourists.

And it makes me think of the Wurzels.

But apart from that, it is fine....

Emmett sounds American (not good or bad, just a comment). Mind you, so does Elliot. Emmett... well it sounds like a kind of cross between Emmental cheese and rennet.

I know you've discounted it but for what it's worth i think Evan is lovely.

Nothing wrong with Emmett just a bit unusual, doesn't grab me though.

Just realised how badly worded my last post was

Emmett's death, whilst horrific, galvanised the Civil Rights Movement.

leaves before I dig any deeper

Isn't it a name for some sort of insect?

I just think of Doc Brown from Back to the Future, can't see it suiting a child!

I'm Cornish so I agree with all the above posts!

Evan OTOH is great.

Emmett reminds me of twilight and back to the future, but it's a nice name

Actually I quite like it.

Its sort of neat (as in "and tidy" not as in American "cool" )

Emmett reminds me of the brother of hyacinth bouquet's nervous neighbour Elizabeth in keeping up appearances.

Emmet -in ireland a hero in irish history was called robert emmet

I really like Emmett.

I also really like Emmett.

Not overly keen on It, what about Emerson?

Thank you everyone do far for really good comments. Have not completely excluded Evan, it's interesting reading comments about both names. Any other suggestions?

It's a distinctive name. Bearing I mind the tragic death of Emmett Till and that it helped inspire the civil rights movement, I think would be a way of honouring the name.

As long as he never goes to Cornwall - where it is a name for a tourist!
