Help[Opinions] Re: Emma and Emily
in reply to a message by Lily8
Emma -- Timeless classic that transports me back to Norman England. Does it get any better than that? Seriously, this one deserves to be a top ten name.
Emily -- Emma playful little sister. Sweet and loaded with her own literary and historic connections. Love it.
Emmeline -- Nostalgic and reminds me of Emmeline Pankhurst, the British suffragette. For that alone I love the name. But yes, that "-line" on the end makes it so precious, doesn't it?
Emerald -- Yay. Someone else besides me who even likes the name. I'm Irish so the Emerald Isle thing makes me smile. Plus, I'm born in May and live in Seattle, the Emerald City. The stars have aligned and I can't escape my attraction to the name Emerald.
Could I interest you in Emer / Eimear, "EE-mer?"
Emerson -- Too masculine for me, even if the literary connection sets off bells and whistles in this snobby brain of mine. The "-son" ending just turns me off.
I know an 11 year old Emily. I remember when her mother was expecting, we went to see the movie, "Emma" starring Gwyneth Paltrow. I suggested Emma instead of Emily. But her mind was made up. Emily suits her dd much better.
