Pretty girls names like Emily

[Scarylady]

The name Emily is such a pretty name for a girl and I tend to find most people feel the same. The problem is, I want it for my dd but can’t and no other names are matching up to me.

So, what girls names do you think of as pretty?

Elodie
Melissa - can have Maisie as a nn
Peggy? (is also a nn for Margaret )
Isla
Etta- can be nn for Rosetta or name in its own right
Sadie

@PragmaticWench is Ettilie a real name as I love it! I much prefer it to Ottilie but it doesn’t appear to be a name that exists anywhere if you google it?

If it does @Scarylady then I think it much nicer than Emily but similar sounding.

I have an Emily and other names on our list were Emmeline, Celia, Clara and Georgia.

Such a lovely message for a gloomy Thursday: here are some suggestions:
Lily

Just popping by to say I’m glad you like that name 🥰
How about Emilia / Amelia or maybe even Amelie if that ain’t too similar ?
Or Alice is within that name category?

I love Emily, also Rose, and Elizabeth just for the variety of options.

That should say isnt not aint my god not sure how that happened sorry !!

I feel the same about Evangeline, Vivienne and Isabel. All gorgeous names but off limits for me so may I suggest those.

If it's any consolation, all the Emilys I have everclnown have been batty nuts so in my mind it's not that pretty of a name. But you could maybe do Emilia, Amelie (love Amelie!), Amalia, Ember, Emerson, Molly or Amaya - those are all a lot more interesting than Emily too.

Juliet
Odelia
Emmeline
Carla

Ooh yes Emmeline is lots prettier than Emily I feel!

How about Emma? I love that name which was my suggestion & DH expanded it to Emily which is what we went for. I also love Chloe, Freya, Esme, Poppy, Charlotte, Paige
