A lot of name nerds seem to love it, but it's just the Emily of another country. It seems a little pretentious to me, and not in a good way like an 'old money' pretentious name (Cornelia, Barnabas etc). I imagine it to be popular with middle-class arty girls in their early twenties who pass off the flower as a long time favourite of theirs (A Rose or Violet being just as darling, but who wants a - gasp - common name! You've gotta show you're cultured, even if you're really not).
