i have many thoughts on this, but primarily...
noah is number two and rising? thats sad. that was our top boys name. also, i was surprised to see amelia/emilia at number one for girls. no idea it had shot up so quickly. the husband and i had amelia on our list too. bummer.

Emmett is our #2 name, it was that way over two years ago. I've read the books and had forgotten that name was in it, lol.

I think you can get away with Emmett...he's not really a major character, plus it's not a trendy sounding name so I don't think it will go crazy. The books/movies will fade by the time any kids born now get older and he'll be the first character to be forgotten.
