Emmett as a boys name, thoughts and nickname?

[armt]

We literally don’t like any names….

I like it!

I like it. It's a Bible name that means 'truth'. Solid. Classic, yet unusual.

Never heard of any of the not-so-good connotations that posters are giving for Emmett.

Thank you! Grockles become emmets when you cross the Tamar

I know a couple of them in Ireland where it’s more often spelt Emmet after the patriot Robert Emmet. It’s not as popular now as it once was though,

GORGEOUS! One of my favourite ever boys names

I'm British and Emmett Till was the first thing that popped into my head too.

When I think of Emmett, I think of tourists, Mrs Bucket and the Lego movie. Sorry!

I think it’s a lovely name. I agree with some others you will want to do your research on Emmett Till as that is an infamous and deeply tragic story in the US. But not to nec stop you using it- just to be aware

That's near me, and it's a shooting shop.
My thought was 'grockles and emmets'.

I wouldn't use it as a boy's name.

I love it. For me it does bring to mind Emmett Till so it depends if that puts you off.
Emerson is similar-ish.

Yes. It has patriotic connotations in Ireland which are entirely removed from the emmets and grockles tourist connotations it has in England, though. Mind you, I can't remember the last time I came across an Irish Emmet/t either.

I love Emmett I think it's classic but uncommon, and pronounced nicely in many different languages:)
