I love it. Its probably my overall favourite girl's name of all time. It is one of the first names I recall loving and honestly, despite its popularity, I probably don't love it any less. We often talk about to what degree popularity influences our naming preferences on this site and I think my general answer is that I would use just about any name if I loved it enough despite popularity. Emily is kind of my exception- that degree of popularity, that massive jump it took and then to stay at number one for so many recent years is enough for it to be completely scratched from the list of names I would ever even consider for a daughter.

I think it will get less common- I mean, it can't really go up any further, it can only fall. I don't think it will be out of the top 100 in ten years. Most names take longer than that to fall. Look at Jessica, Ashley, Samantha, Kayla etc

It will be dated, but I'm not sure how dated it will sound. I know quite a few. maybe about 6. It is too boring, but it is a beautiful name.
