[Opinions] Emerly
I saw this name written on the back of a pickup truck. It said, "EMERLY'S HAVING A BABY!!!" in huge, yellow letters. I'm not sure why someone would advertise that kind of thing on the back of their truck, but then, I never understood people.So anyway, WDYT? I think it sounds like someone with a thick, indefinable accent is trying to say Emily. It's a little weird.

It's horrid. It reminds me of an emery board, or indeed Emily with a slurred accent.

I find it awkward to say. Some where between trying to say "I'm early" too quickly and a combination of Emerson and Emily.

It reminds me of a male character in the Stephen King miniseries of Rose Red, named Emery. Maybe Emerly is supposed to be some sort of feminization of Emery.

It sounds quite ugly to me, and I agree with Meganet22's comment. (haha!)Eeew, why would anyone put THAT on their truck? I've heard of putting "Just Married" or "Graduate of (insert year here)" but *that* would just be humiliating!

kind of sounds like a drunk person slurring Emily

It's okay. Not amazing, but not horrible. I'd rather see a girl named Emerly than a girl named Emerson.

You've got a point. I never thought Emerson sounded the least bit feminine.

Sounds ugly to me.
...And why did they put "EMERLY'S HAVING A BABY!!!" on the back of a pickup truck?! That sounds odd to me.

Your guess is as good as mine. Some people advertise every little event in their lives on the back of their cars.

I don't like it. It sounds like someone wanted to "spice up" Emily, so they stuck an ugly r in the middle.
