[Opinions] Love Emma, dislike Emily
in reply to a message by Lily8
I have always disliked the name Emily. I think it is horribly clunky and it reminds me of the image you were saying for Emma. I don't get how anyone could like this name really. It sounds very infantile and kind of "hick-ish". Maybe it's the -ee sound at the end. I can't stand names that end in -ee, except maybe Lucy.Emma however I find just adorable. I don't get why everyone doesn't love it. I think it sounds soft and enchanting. Like a little fairy princess name. When I hear the name, I think of some fine refined lady. If it wasn't so popular I would love to use this name. I even had a dream that I had a baby named this. My only worry about it besides the popularity is that people would try to call her Emily.I don't like Emmeline, Emme, Emerson, or Emerald. I guess I like Imogen (em-uh-jen)with the nickname Emma, Emilia, and Emmanuella. I've known about 12 or 13 Emily's, but never met an Emma. And I work at a daycare/elementary school. I love Ella too, and I've only known one.
