Emery, for a girl

[suzettenoisette]

It's new to our list.

Emery for a girl, nickname Emmy. I also like Emma, but know too many my age and older.

Would you pick Emery or Keira? Others on the list are Phoebe, Sophie, Ruby, Everly, Isabella "Bella", Poppy and maybe Emma.

As in emery board? Its a no from me, but what about Emmeline? Nn Emmy?

Are you Aston Villa fans?

I hope you don’t have a surname Board

Not keen on Emery as its not an actual first name.

Reminds me of Mr Emery my woodwork teacher.
Or Emery boards.

Pretty much all your other names are better.
Eleri is nice though, if you want something similar.

It's not a name, it's a manicure implement.

Or the comedian, Dick (less known to younger generations, but was hugely famous)

I would pick Keira from your list

Edited to add: or just call her Emmy

I prefer Emma or Emmeline..... I know a little girl just called Emmy, not a nn.

She'll undoubtedly grow up with nice nails.

Emmeline?

It's rough where we live.. My dd is Nailfile...
Emery is for toffs only.

Imo. .

Emeila ?
Anything from your list except Emery-board because that was my first thought too.

It makes me think of Dick Emery. In drag.

It's a no from me.

I did however grow up with an Emera which you might like? Still rare (I've only ever known the one) but a bit more... name-y.

Emery board was my first thought too, as it seems was everyone else’s. The other names on your list are all nice, my favourite is Sophie.

A lifetime of 'Sorry... did you say Emily? Oh... OK. As in...board?'

Emery is as strange as Everly and Keira is still lovely, as would be Emily or Emma. Have you got a middle name yet?

Yep, emery board, Dick Emery (to those of us of a certain age), sounds like the majority of the word haemorrhage (especially bad if your surname starts with J), people will assume you said Emily and that will stick in their minds, regardless of how much you correct them.

Sorry, I wouldn't.

How about Hemera, if you're after something a bit more unusual - pronounced HAY-muh-ruh?

It sounds a bit like a 2 year old saying Emily. Or yes, Emery Board.

You’re going to have an amazing daughter who can have any name in the world! You can do far better than Emery.

Dick Emery. Just no. Camp comedian in bad drag.

I actually quite like Emery but because it’s unusual in the UK I’d get fed up of the nail gags and people mishearing it as Emily.

Ruby, Keira, Phoebe and Poppy are my favourites of your other ideas. Isabella is overused around me and Everly has similar problems to Emery in that these American style names aren’t very familiar / liked (yet) in the UK (although I admit I have a soft spot for some of them).

Emma and Emilia are my favourites of the Em names and she can still be Emmy for short?

Me too.

Oooh, you are awful........but I like you.

I thought exactly the same

We're really showing our age😂

Dick Emery...You are awful but I like you.
Just no!

I adore Emery, I prefer it over Everly, as I find that to be a very Americanised name, most will probably disagree with me. I also adore Keira, and it is on my own list for my daughter coming soon.

How about Avery? Or Amelie? Emery just has negative connotations for me, sorry.
