HelpRe: Emilie
in reply to a message by insane romantic
I have to disagree. There were 470 girls named Elisabeth born last year and 385 named Emilie. That's not much of a difference. I think many people are familiar with Emilie thanks to an actress (I always forget her surname, but she was in lots of movie and a popular TV series). Emily is also not much more popular than Elizabeth. Emily is #6 and Elizabeth #11. Elizabeth never left the top 30 whereas Emily got a bit of a break until the mid 80s.
Don't get me wrong, I do worry about using an alternate spelling of a popular name in general. I just don't think that there's is any difference regarding this between Emily and Elizabeth.
Claire is the most popular spelling by far, so I think you could use it, there wouldn't be many problems.
