Despite its current popularity surge, Emily has been around since literally the Middle Ages. In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the Knight tells his tale about two imprisoned knights who fall madly in love with the fair Emelye (prn Emily; that is the ME spelling). I'm not sure how you define special, but if "special" means a drop in usage, then I doubt you'll see it any time soon.

Magnanimous Despair alone could show me so divine a thing, where feeble hope could ne'er have flown, but vainly flapped its tinsel wing.
