Emily Carla Marie & Michael Dominic Scott

OR

Emily Carla Nicole & Michael Bradley Scott



On that note, I am also rethinking using the FNs Emily and Michael. They are extremely common in most places, however in my generation I knew maybe 2 of each throughout school. Anyway-- I am starting to think I want to use different names. But I really love Emily & Michael.

I guess when it comes down to it, I'm wondering if using a common name is worth it if you really love the name,...

Ps. Slowly but surely falling in love with the names Savannah & Olivia. But Olivia is becoming even more common than Emily, is it not?

I am set against my children being one of many with the same name in their class. I just don't like the idea of my child having to be "Emily E", for example. Though my name is quite common now, when I was growing up I only knew one other Lauren, and I liked that. I agree with anapology, though you may not have known many Emily's or Michaels, you daughter certainly will. For me, even if I loved a name I wouldn't use it if it was very popular, I love the names Amelia and Lily but won't use then if they are as popular as they are now when I have children. So yeah, it just depends how important it is to you.

Anyway, I prefer Michael Dominic Scott and Emily Carla Nicole.
