Emily - dull and overly popular or classic and timeless?

[browneyedlou]

What is the mn verdict?

the first - lovely name but 3 in my 10 yr old dd's class
It seems like an odd name for an adult to me (sorry to any adult ones) because I only know littlies with the name!

Classic and timeless. Have you considered Emma, as well - there seem to be fewer little Emmas about.

my DD2 name is Emma, so I love Emily - nice name!

A very pretty sound, but too popular.

I like Emma too, and Gemma.

I like Amelia and Amelie and Emilia less than Emily, so if you like it, just stick with Emily itself, it's the nicest of the Emily names 9as I think of them)

QOD, I know what you mean, but I can think of a few slebs - Emily Blunt, Emily the blonde newsnight woman, Emily Watson.

timeless, classic but sooooo dull there are so many prettier, classier etc names.

Lovely

Nice name, but I can think of 53729563729 nicer ones.

There are an awful lot about. Dc have more than one in all their classes.

Emiline and Emene (Em en aye) are nice varients - when spelt correctly! I can't recall if I have them right

Still love it, it was my #2.

Like it very much, so I'll plump for 'classic and timeless'.
I also like Emmeline.

Love it.

Dull and popular

sorry - find it quite dull

Classic but very popular. Lots more to choose from. How about Allegra, Anastasia or Leonora.

Classic, timeless and beautiful.

Crikey!! I'm a 30 year old Emily. I never realised people think it's dull and boring.

It's popular but it's a really nice name, I reckon go for it!

Or if you want more unusual how about Elodie?

oi thats my name

Does it matter if others think it's dull? So long as you like it that's what matters.

I love it. It's one of my favourite names.

Dull and popular

Classic and timeless. It's a beautiful name for young and old alike.

It is popular, but it's popular for a reason ...and tbh, I don't know any baby/preschool Emilys.
