Help[Opinions] Re: Emily
in reply to a message by Lily
You know, I like it. I avoid the 80s-now vibe and think of it as a pioneer name. I love picturing little Emily in her braid, calico, and pinafore running around on the prairie near her family's log cabin. I do the same thing with Amanda, too. :)
I'm sure Emily will start dropping eventually, but it's not going to be totally out of fashion in the near future, I'm sure. I doubt it'll be out of the top 100 in only 10 years. I don't think it will ever sound too dated because it is a fairly classic name already. Since 1880 it has never really dropped out of use.
I know tons of Emilys, I'm sure. Plenty my age, at least. I don't know a whole lot of younger kids, but I can think of at least one Emily who's maybe 10.
I'd spell it Emily. Any other spelling looks odd to me.
I wouldn't really call Emily boring, but it definitely doesn't stand out and it does have a very simple feel. But I love simple-feeling names.
