I was in a class today and the instructor said that she had a daughter named
Emily, but she really wanted to name her
Nyla (I think that’s what she said) but her husband did not agree. She didn’t like any of his names so
Emily was a compromise. Someone else said that how his sister
Emily got her name. A third person chimed in with their daughter is named
Amelia because they couldn’t agree. The instructor then said something like “if all else fails, just pick a name that sounds like
Emily.”
Just an interesting story I wanted to share. Any thoughts? Is
Emily a name you would love to use, or would you just shrug your shoulders and go “meh, whatever”?
