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.

Yeah, another word association straight to emery board. Phoebe and Sophie are lovely.

Not Emery. Keira, Sophie & Phoebe are lovely.
Jemima (could be nn Emmy or Mimi)

My first thought too!

Please don't

Yup, this.

You wouldn't want to do that to your dd, surely ?

Awful and ugly.

you say “emery” everyone thinks “board”

Board

Call her Emma or Emily instead

Say Emery, hear board.

Elodie
Eloise
Elena
?

Emerson?

God, no.

Keira is the lesser of the evils.

Emer is an old Irish name, pronounced Ee-mer, so you‘d get most of the spelling of the name you like, without the ‘y’ making it into a manicure implement!

How about Emerald?

I've met an Emira?
Or Emily, Emmeline, Emilia.
Not Emery. Why not just Emme? I know an adult Emme (pronounced Emmy) and it's really nice

Emma is so classic and adorable.

Emery is nail bitingly questionable.

Others:
Mary
Erica
Emily
Ester
Aster

sounds too much like Emily - she'd spend her whole time correcting people.

Board

I once met an Emory (pronounced the same).

Once I got to know her I grew to like it.

Emery board. It’s a no from me.

For what it's worth I wouldn't have thought of an emery board.

Change the spelling to Emerie

I like it!

I would be afraid that Hemera would get called Haemorrhoid... 😳😨😬

Adding to the chorus of No's on the Board here.
