[Opinions] Emma vs. Emily
Which would you choose for a daughter and why?
What would you use as a middle name?
What would you name a brother and sister?

Emma
The meaning's cooler, and I'm fond of Ermintrude and Emmanuelle, which seem adjacent to it. I don't think it's one of those names people liked because it stands out, so popularity didn't affect my opinion of it.
The Emma I know has siblings Abigail and Philip.
I'd name a sibling something like Adela, June, Naomi, Theresa, Andrea, Jessamine, Noa, Audra, Cassandra, Willow, Ivy, Zora, Zoe, Lily, Asher, Eli, Isaac, Noah, Jesse, Gabriel, Daniel, Lucas, Reuben...

Emily. I used to go back and forth on which I liked more, but I prefer Emily, not that I’d use either. There would have to be a pretty unusual and interesting mn for me, with such a classic fn! Maybe something like Emily Sunshine, Emily Juniper, Emily Marigold or Emily Zinnia. Sibling ideas are:
Emily Sunshine, Jonathan Wolf and Louisa Maple
Emily Juniper, Samuel Fox and Hannah Patience
Emily Marigold, Jack Cedar and Charlotte Opal
Emily Zinnia, Joshua Onyx and Alice Clover

Emily Marigold! Oh I absolutely love it! If only we used names in full. Emily’s not boring anymore at all with Marigold by its side. Adorable.
Definitely Emily, I find it much prettier.
Emily sounds prettier

I want to like Emma but it is just a mumble.

I’m gonna have to go with Emma. Ema is cool too. Emily is a decent name I guess, but annoyingly overused and it’s not the best name.
Emma is just simple, classic, and actually really cute. I probably wouldn’t use it as a first name, but if a partner loved it so much, I would actually use it as a middle name. I also really like the meaning. Emily’s meaning is pretty “meh”. Emily I wouldn’t use as a middle name.
1. Emma Lilith Belle (Or maybe just Emma Lilith)
2. Emma Diane
3. Emma Rosalie

Emma , it feels more international and classic.

It feels warmer than Emma. Emily Maud, sister to Adam Leopold and Holly Florence.

Both are too popular now. Since Emilia isn't here, I'll go with Emma - it doesn't sound 80's/90's.
Emma Genevieve. Emma Temperance also sounds lovely. A long middle name for Emma is ideal.
Since Emma is up there in the popularity chart, I'd choose other popular names as well. A brother to Emma would be Levi and a sister Ruby.
