Help[Opinions] Re: Emily
in reply to a message by Lily
I like the name very much, it's pretty and classic. I wouldn't use it due to popularity.
Emily had been my sister's favorite name for a long time and at one point she was sure she would use it. Until she became aware of its popularity, at which point she gave up the idea of using it as a first name. Avoiding a popular name was very important to her. But because it had been her favorite name, she gave it as a middle name to her first daughter. Her name is Mara Emily. I agree, rather unexpected as a middle name.
Meadow Emily flows quite well. Meadow Emily Danielle is a bit much. I've known three Emilys. One was a secretary to my husband. We knew her back in the early eighties, and she was in her forties then. Must be about seventy now. Another was a young woman who was in her early twenties when I knew her, she must be approximately thirty now. Another was the daughter of a friend of mine, who is seventeen now.
