babynamesYes, it's true. The only name my husband and I agree on right now for a girl is Emily.
I've known about one Emily in my life, so no matter how much I stare at the SSA stats telling me there have been more Emilys than any other one name for the last DECADE, I just can't help but think it's unique. :(
Is there any chance of the trend slipping? How much torture are we submitting our future daughter to? Maybe if we find a good middle name that she can choose to use?
In the same vein, I thoroughly welcome any and all suggestions for girls' names that do NOT end in -a or an 'ah' sound. DH does not want the first name to rhyme with our last name which ends in -a. We prefer traditional "girls' names".
Thanks!

Date: 2006-07-24 02:08 am (UTC)Anyway, to the OP. I grew up as Emily H. all through elementary school because one of my friends was also named Emily. Never bothered either of us honestly. Having a common name is not the end of the world, and will most likely not cause any ill effects ;) I actually love my name, and I wouldn't choose another one for myself, even with all the little Emily's running around.
