Help[Opinions] Re: Emily
in reply to a message by Paul
I think it suggests someone modestly privileged. I picture Emily as a girl near the top of her class, assertive but polite and kind. It's the Amy of the 90s. It's past its prime fashionwise - meaning that an Emily born today might feel her name "sounds older" than she is by as much as 10 or 15 years. Emilia is a more hip version but might be trendier.
It's classic and pleasant. My mom suggested it for my daughter. I had considered it briefly - I feel the look and sound of it is very tidy, and warm, this is nice - but decided I feel it is too smug-sounding for my taste. I think Emily is plenty dignified for a grown woman. But the name still seems somehow slightly prissy or sheltered to me. I give it 7/10 generally, and 6/10 as a baby name to use today. =)
