i have a girl due in august and me and me and my husband can’t agree on a name, even though it’s very common right now I love the name Olivia I just think it’s a and can suit any age timeless classic. My husband likes the name Emily and I’m not into it. I’m from the US I moved here 3 years ago and the name Emily in The US is classed as a bit of a 90s/2000s name because it rose up the charts so fast and was number 1 from 1996-2007, I think it was at it got mega popular around the same time in this country aswell but I it’s starting to date badly in the US because I’ve noticed normally the once “number 1” names always tend to date a lot worse. obviously lI know that the naming trends may be a little different over here. I’m living in UK now so it obviously isn’t a big issue but I’m just curious as to what peoples thoughts of on the name Emily in UK?? Is it dated now? As I said my husband does really like Emily but Olivia just has more of a mature sound to me, Emily always sounds abit juvenile. Thoughts?

Who cares whether a name is "dated" or "in"? Surely the only relevant question is whether or not YOU like the name?

The child will care. Would you want to go through school with a name that generated comments like 'That's my mum's/nan's name'?
