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?

Isn't it old English for ant?

I know of quite a lot of Irish Emmets. Originally it was a in honour of Robert Emmet and now it's just a standard name. I like it a lot. Didn't know there was a Twilight connection.

Oh and I like Evan too. I imagine a really hot American when I think of Evan, much along the lines of Evan Dando.

I have family in Cornwall and they moan about Emmettes clogging up the roads.

I think of Robert Emmet, which I think many other Irish people would too.

Also Emmet Till. This wouldn't put me off because Emmet Till was just an innocent, regular kid which is why his lynching galvanized so many in support of the Civil Rights Movement. His lovely name shouldn't be considered sullied by what happened to him.

Also <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&biw=1115&bih=717&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=rXYEqN6lJAFSeM:&imgrefurl=www.emmetottersjugband.com/&docid=mBZF3-Xy7rPXiM&imgurl=www.emmetottersjugband.com/images/emmet.jpg&w=592&h=460&ei=_8p5T76qNouXhQe12tibDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=136&vpy=189&dur=2125&hovh=198&hovw=255&tx=149&ty=110&sig=100568523878129241506&page=1&tbnh=150&tbnw=211&start=0&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Emmet Otter !

I like the name a lot.
