Re: Embry
in reply to a message by Lily
The first thing I thought of was Embry-Riddle, the aeronautical university. It also reminds me of the word "embryo." Neither is that bad of an association, though. The name isn't one I would use myself mostly because the sound of it doesn't do much for me.
I prefer it as a male name, but it sounds like names that are popular for girls these days, such as Avery, Aubrey, and of course, Emily and Emma. Consequently, a decent number of people in the U.S. might automatically think of a girl first if they aren't familiar with "Twilight." It would be less of an issue outside of the U.S. and Canada I would imagine, but I don't know that for sure.
