Rachel or Emily?

[Findingthisdifficult1234]

What would you have?

I think he should've stuck with Rachel - Emily was way too whiney

cocolate

Yea? I prefer Rachel!
(Oh I Donno! Hopefully ill have a boy! Would make life easier! girls names are so hard to choose haha!

So actual list is Sienna, Matilda ( the names I like) and my husband likes Rachel or Emily? Least his names are traditional...

Oops coco! I actually just got your joke! Ha!

I was going to say Rachel because she got off the plane. Emily didn't (although she did fly straight back again) :o

Although I think I like Rachel better as a name too. :)

Rachel is a great name.

I prefer your husbands name choices and I prefer Rachel. I know loads of baby Matilda's and sienna had a bit if a bashing on the other thread.

I like Rachel and Matilda. Sienna is not my cup of tea at all, and there are loads of Emily's in the world now (I am one of them )

Sienna really did get quite a bit of bashing didnt it haha! Yea I like that my husbands names are traditional and pretty...

Rachel. I know three lovely Rachels but of the two Emilys that I know, one is dull and boring and the other is two faced.
Sorry to any lovely Emilys out there, I've just not met one yet.

I am due in May. Emily is our girls name for this baby

Emily is better in all ways.

Definitely Emily.

Rachel.

Rachel is pretty dated. Bit like Samantha and Natalie.
Emily is ok.

Both are lovely classic names, you can't go wrong whichever you choose. Emily might just slightly have the edge because you can shorten it to Em or Emmy - no-one wants to be called Rach!

you are asking me to choose between my name and my dds ......

so who has better taste, me or my parents.

Emily is very popular at the moment. I love the name Rachel and wanted it for my dd, but nobody else seemed to like it and I got cold feet. I think it is a FANTASTIC name and overdue for a revival.

Emily is a bit insipid; Rachel is a strong woman's name.

Have you read 'My Cousin Rachel' by Daphne du Maurier?

[Racks brain to think of other ways to persuade of the obvious superiority of Rachel to all other names.]

Oh, and your dh's name choices are way better than yours. Sorry

pud1 - your parents.

Oh I don't know what to have!!! Leaning more toward Rachel, I still like Sienna too!

Rachel Sienna then!

Go on - be a trendsetter!

Another vote for Rachel Sienna! But you need to see what your daughter looks like when she arrives - she might look more like a Rachel, or more like an Emily!

Think of Rachel Sienna as a grown-up. Isn't she MUCH more appealing than an Emily?

[Realises that perhaps not having managed to give either of my children names I love has bothered me more than I realised]
