Well, I'm pregnant. Which means, I should consider names at some point during the pregnancy. We don't know the sex yet, but we'd appreciate your input on our list! Be as honest as you can- if this kid gets saddled with a name, I don't want it to have some small asset that a bully can pick up and use against him/her.

Thanks!

Thanks, guys!

I like them - they're good names! Can't see anything they'd get teased for, but of course it depends on how it's combined with your last name.

My only comment would be that these names, to varying extents, are fairly popular at the moment. But that is obviously just because a lot of people like them. If it bothers you, you could check out exactly how popular they are and whether it's rising... but I think it's fine personally, because everyone grows up in a generation which has its own specific names and there's nothing wrong with being one of those people who has a name that's pretty common amongst their age group. At least they're not really trendy names that date easily, like the Mackenzies of a few years ago. I would try and avoid the top 5 though at least. I think Jack is probably right up there, but the others aren't all that high up as far as I know.

I think only the boys names are really that popular, and generally, boys don't seem to care all that much.

But if the girls names are actually getting really popular, then I would definitely suggest to the OP, that as an Emily, she should rethink some of the names. But I don't think they're getting that popular, so who knows?
