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.

The moral of Pete's story is: No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song... because it's all good.
