Emerald

[BoyMeetsWorld]

Still trying to finalise our girls names short list (keep changing my mind!) & not seen any threads specifically on this name.

What do you think? Is it OTT or nice? Shortened to Emmie. Would be with, probably, Juliet or Elise as mn.

I've got an idea "Aymeraude" is a medieval spelling, rather than something totally made up. Not that that's a good reason to use it!

I love Emerald. Much cooler than Emilia.

I think Emerald Elise would be a lovely name!

i love it. might be known as emma though, which may not be as unusual as you were hoping for.

We'd be fine with it shortened to Emer or Eme (Emma / Emmie)

Oh marvellous - Jacqueline Wilson's just published a book with a heroine called Emerald & it's all over the tv for Christmas. Does that mean this name's suddenly going to have a popularity surge? How annoying....
