Hey, I really like the names Emily. As I'm only 17 (Junior in hs), in my generation there are a lot of Emily's. Everywhere there were Emily's left and right. Some parents tried to spell it Differently and spelled it Emilee or Emilie (which is actually French), I don't care for those spellings. I like how it's very well known, but it isn't so popular anymore. Some people think the name Emily needs a very long rest, and that Emily is bland, stale, and overused. Do you think by the time I have children (again, 17 year old guy here.) that Emily would be fine and people would think differently of it? It seems people tend to go away from this name and choose more unique names. Do you think Emily will ever get a full revival? (Not popular in my neck of the woods anymore.)

My other favorite names are Clarissa and Alexandra. I like the combos Clarissa Emily, Alexandra Emily and Emily Alexandra.
