yes, it happened. I fell in love with the most popular name in the world. Okay not in the world but in many english speaking countries at least. It all started with a name dream. I had a dream in which I bought two cockatiels and I named the female one Emily. That's when I thought "hmmmm it's nice for a bird". And then today I thought "hmmmm it's nice for a girl". I never thought this would happen and I don't think I'll use it as a first name but I can see myself using it as a middle name. Well maybe not because I want to use Emmeline and Estella as first names. There's still the bird I could get, though :P WDYT ? And how common is it where you live ? How many Emilys do you actually know ? And how old are they ?

Do you prefer Emma ? I used to but now I think Emma sounds kind of heavy I don't know....like an overweight farm girl and when I hear Emily I think of a little girl with curly hair wearing a cute dress. Weird I know, please don't be offended if you are named Emma or love Emma etc
