So I’m having a girl and I never thought choosing a name would be this hard Im in love with the name the name lily I just think it’s so classic timeless and beautiful and has never been mega popular so you can’t tie it to a certain time. Unfortunately my husband likes the name Emily, To me Emily is VERY 90s/2000s because i remember being a teenager thinking it was a really pretty and unique name I’d never really heard it before. The thing that puts me off is I live in the southern US now and here it was the number 1 name every year 1996-2007 and everyone I’ve asked has said it is very dated over here now because it was it was the kind of on trend name to give to your baby, it was popular in uk at the same time aswell but was more trendy in the US I think so im not really keen. I looked up it’s popularity and it’s already dropping, But he thinks the name is pretty🙂so I’m abit lost on what I should do, to me lily has never been mega popular for specific years so it ages better (I used to have a 90 year old neighbour called lily which makes me like it even more) the only problem is with Lily is they said it sounds like an “old ladies name” , my man said she grew up with a lot of Lily’s in the 1940s but Emily was unheard of🤷🏻♀️I do like the sound of Emily but like a lot of names it’s mega popularity in specific years has made it sound dated. What name does everyone like better?
