Emmett

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Emmett? Do you know any?

No, have never met one. I do like it though.

Being early 20’s, I’d assume the parent(s) were twilight fans, only place I’ve ever heard the name. That aside, it’s a nice name imo - could imagine it for a girl or boy

Emmett is what some parts of the country call unwanted tourists.

Is twillight still a thing?

Like hyacinth bucket's neighbour?

It's a reasonably well known name in Ireland.

Know a few, all Irish.

It's a lovely name although I can't think of it without thinking of the Lego Movie

Love it. Know one (he's ten)

I know one, he's 12. Parents are Irish.

I worked in America for several years and knew a few there, never heard it in the uk so It may cross my mind that you were from the states? Lovely name though! I’m in my late twenties and didn’t think of twilight until it was pointed out. Most people probably won’t make the connection, or if they do just looo blank and explain he wasn’t named for the movie

I really like it, but DH shot it down. Makes me think of back to the future first and foremost (Doc Brown - he gets called Emmett by his girlfriend a lot in the third one). The Lego Movie now that someone's mentioned it. Can't remember a Twilight character but I've forgotten most of Twilight by now!

I know of one, age 12.

I love the name and was considering the name for DS who is 2 but DH wasn't keen. We know a little Emmett too.

It was more BTTF which made me like it (and he was born in 2015, the BTTF year!) but the Twilight connection didn't bother me either as I'm a bit of a fan of that too and there are so many great names in Twilight!

Two things come to mind, either Emmett Till or the character in Legally Blonde. Neither would make a difference to how I felt about the name

Never met anyone with the name Emmett.

Emmett from The Lego Movie and Dr Emmett Brown from Back to the Future spring to mind.

I think of an American yokel living on a farm, uneducated.

Keeping Up Appearances. Utterly wet. Not a great association.

Robert Emmet

Makes me think of Emmett Till, which is a very sad association.

Sorry reminds me of character in Keeping up Appearances

It makes me think of Kermit the frog

Doc Brown from Back To The Future.

I like it. Means “truth” in Hebrew if that does anything for you.

I really quite like it :)
