What do you guys think of the name Emily? What would you pair it with? Would you prefer Emilia?OT, but I really like the song ‘See Emily Play’ by Pink Floyd.

It's a nice, solid name. I like it because of Emily Dickenson. I can't stand Emilia.

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. Rosamund Emilia

Isabel Emilia

I was happy to find out that a 19th-century relative had Emily as her mn: Florence Emily! I didn't have enough daughters to use it, but it's always beautiful to me, regardless of popularity.'See Emily Play' is good; I love Pink Floyd in general. But, although the name is only in the title, I prefer 'For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her' by Simon and Garfunkel.

It's actually a very sweet name. Very bland, yeah, I agree, but still pretty and warm. I like the image of a Victorian Emily more than a modern Emily. I think it makes a great middle name.I much prefer Emilia.

The absolute white bread of all names, it's so bland! ;( I've met about billion Emily's before and I'm just sick of the name. Name your kid Amelie or Emilia! Please! They're so much better!
