What do you think of the name Emily with Beatrice as the middle name (after her Granny)

See this is what I don't get: In my mind 'popular' does not necessarily = 'dull' Emily has been popular for ages, one reason must be because it's such a nice name. See also Anna, Sarah etc. (although Sarah is not so popular now).

Just because a lot of people have that name doesn't suddenly make it less attractive IMO.

No, popular doesn't necessarily mean dull at all! I've always loved the name Sophie, perenially popular. I think it's really elegant and interesting. Likewise Anna, probably my favourite gir's name. (Tough I'd call Anna classic rather than really popular).

Emily however I find boring! - like a couple of other folk on here and on a recent thread, I recall. Something terribly prim about it. It's all subjective though.

Love the name, if I had another girl today I would call her Beatrice Isabella.

I absolutely love the name Emily and find it a much nicer name than a Beatrice . Both names are good though. Great choice

Beautiful name ❤️

Beatrice is beautiful and more interesting and memorable than Emily. Emily has become dull from overuse imo.
