Middle name for Emory.....

[Vicks30]

Writing for a friend. She loves the name Emory but is struggling with a middle name. She was playing around with ‘Emory summer’ but she would like some other options. Also she would like to know if it is spelt better Emery. Any suggestions welcome.

I've never heard Emory/Emery as a name. Tbh I think if I heard it I'd assume I'd misheard Emily.

Emery, surely?

I first read it as Emroy. Not sure I like it.

Board?

Board

Emory Joy
Emory May
Emory Jane

Middle name should be one syllable

Definitely Board. But maybe spelled Bored.

Damn. My wittiness was tardy

Think about what the child/adult will feel about being called emory as an adult. How can they live this down? Give the kid a proper name! A name lasts a lifetime. A name that suits a baby is not necessarily a name that suits a grown up

I hadn't heard of these as names before, so googled- Emory is the name of an American University, and Emery, the first autocomplete is indeed Emery Board. I can't find anyone with this as a first name- Emory has been a last name very occasionally.

That said, I think 'Emory' is quite a nice name! It is similar to Summery though, so not sure about Emory Summer, but if you are going to make up names, this is a lovely one!

Dick?

Emory Coral
Emory Nicole.
Emory Blyth
Emory Scarlett

Strike that- I found Emery on BabyCentre, and it does appear that there have been a few Emery's around in the past few years- perhaps not enough to have their own webpages yet.

I think it sounds nice anyway.

M? Since this isn't actually a name or even a word and is memory with the m missing. I would try to dissuade your friend, if you feel it's appropriate.

Dick Emery - not a good association

It sounds a bit like she wanted something like Emma and came up with Emmary in the same way as my pal who describes a meal as being pastary (like pasta) or a house thing as ikeary (like ikea).
It's awful.

Well as the first name is a random collection of letters why not carry on the theme? Hodif, llopja, Mofde? That kind of thing?

Or indeed any item name from Ikea.

Emory joy
Emory Joan
Emery Leigh
Emery rose

To be honest it does sound like a misheard Emily. It's different and I quite like it, but perhaps not going to be a popular choice so your friend should prepare for that.

It's a real name but it's a surname. OOh it is awful but I don't like it.

Another vote for Board
