I recently posted on the Facts board with a question of Evelyn and was surprised to discover that both Evelyn & Emmett are historically female names. (Evelyn is a diminutive of Eve, Emmett a diminutive of Emma.) The names survived as surnames, which were then passed on to males, becoming male names. Evelyn has switched back, Emmett hasn't.

Anyway: I'm not really a fan of Emmett. It's not a horrible name but it's just not my style.

Little Emma, eh? Seems odd, but as long as she doesn't dress him in pink and buy him a Barbie, no harm will come of it.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it either.

It's a solid choice. I've known little boys and old men named Emmett and it is one that grows up well. It's not a name I would choose for my child, but I like it for others.

Yes! It is a good name!
Not so used, particular and fascinating.
It is old fashionable in a positive way.
It is strong and respectable.
