Do you like the names
Emma and
Emily? I mean, yeah, they are common but if you just don't consider their popularity, do you like the sound of the names alone? Just wondering because I always thought
Emma was extremely unattractive and I never understood why everybody loved it so much. It always made me think of a chubby farmer's daughter with pigtails and chocolate smeared all over he face. I should love it, it's rich in history and has so many literary connections but I just can't. I do like
Emily a lot better, I even think it's sweet and I' consider it for a pet, I had a dream in which I had a cockatiel named
Emily. Sometimes I think
Emma just got popular because people wanted a more unusual alternative to
Emily without really loving the sound that much. Just wondering.
I do however
LOVE Emmeline (pr. EM-meh-line). I also don't mind
Emerald and I think
Emerson is kind of appealing though I would never ever use it. I also like Emme, at least when it's pronounced like the letter M. It is quite elegant and I like how it reads the same backwards, just like
Aviva, one of my favourites. Which other Em-names do you like?
How many Emmas and Emilys do you actually know and how old are they? Middle names? and how many people with other Em-names do you know? Do many of them go by
Emmy?
