I know it's totally overused, but I actually love Emily. It's classy and timeless, flows gracefully off the tongue, and fits any personality. One of my close friends is Emilie Grace, which isn't exactly original but I like the cadence of the combo and the alternate spelling of Emily. I wouldn't use Emily or Emilie myself (well, given enough daughters it could be a middle name), but it's still a good name. As for Emilia, it's perfectly nice, but it sounds just like Amelia, and I've never seen the appeal of spelling it like Emily. That said, it makes a lovely middle.

I would pair Emily with something more unique to spice it up a little.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
