I'm aware the name Emily has been popular for many years now.

How many Emilys do you know under the age of 5?

Zero
Not totally surprising given the numbers of Emily's have declined each and every year for past 20 years (I know it's still top 10 though)

princesspeppax · 13/06/2020 13:18

I know of 2, both age 3

Spied · 13/06/2020 13:18

None

StampMc · 13/06/2020 13:19

None. Youngest one I know is 15

Imonlydoingwhatican · 13/06/2020 13:19

None under 5

Thinkpinkstink · 13/06/2020 13:21

Zero.

I'm in London.

NannyR · 13/06/2020 13:21

Just one - a baby.

YessicaHaircut · 13/06/2020 13:24

None! I work in a school and actually I don’t think we’ve got a single Emily this year, apart from several amongst the staff. I have a few friends called Emily too, all in their 30s.

C0RINNA · 13/06/2020 13:25

Zero, but I hardly know any under 5s.

DrKnickerbocker9 · 13/06/2020 13:31

SunbathingDragon · 13/06/2020 16:07

IagoWithABlackberry · 13/06/2020 16:09

0 under 5. Know 4 between 9 and 54.

maddymellow · 13/06/2020 16:14

None. I know one 8yo, one 27yo and one 33yo.

maddymellow · 13/06/2020 16:15

I have an Emily. She is in primary school and she is the only Emily in whole of the school of 350 pupils!
I was worried it will be lots of them, but, strangely, it is not the case.

blosstree · 13/06/2020 16:48

Youngest I know is 9.

Angelonia · 13/06/2020 16:49

None - the youngest I know is 12.

Munchkin08 · 13/06/2020 16:49

I know 1 who is 10 and 1 who is 23

Allmyeye · 13/06/2020 16:51

None and I’m a primary teacher.

  1. Even though it’s top 10 it doesn’t seem as ubiquitous as other top 10 names. Strange.
