I really like Emmett, but I wouldn't use it because its too close to my own name (Emma). Also, Em or any other nickname might seem a bit girly because Emily and Emma are much more common than Emmett.

I don't like Everett so much, it sounds more like a surname.

I think they are both cute but I'd never use either of them. I prefer Everett.

Emmett - I kinda like it. I disregard the Emmett Smith association and then it feels sky-ish with some charming cowboy-ness thrown in. It's nice.

Everett - I've liked this for a long time, though never loved it. It makes me think of pine trees, and it's quiet, shy, and intelligent.

I prefer Everett of the two.

If this were a twin set, I would love it. Individually, I ADORE Emmett but Everett is a little too....IDK, sporty?

I love Emmett, after Emmett Till, the twelve year old whose murder was one of the sparks of the civil rights movement in the U.S. I also love the Emmet spelling, after Irish patriot Robert Emmet. I'm not usually a fan of surnames as first names. But these two deserve to be honored. Plus, the "em" sound at the beginning is very attractive. You might also like Emery, which is a variant of Emmerich / Emeric.

Everett is a town near where I live. So it's hard to see it as a name. Plus, I always got it confused with (Mount) Everest when I was young. So it's always irritated me a bit. I'm much more fond of variant Everard, which I find comical and lovable, in a P.G. Wodehouse kind of way. That said, I still use Everett in combos, like Rex Everett, so I can't be that against it. :0)

Which do I prefer? Emmett.

I like those names! Would consider using them as middle names :)

---

I personally prefer Everett, but both are great xx

I very much enjoy them both! Everett gives me a strong and outdoorsy vibe, with a bit of nerdiness. Emmett is softer and gentler, a caring nurturer.

I think I'd lean toward Everett.
