Is [name_f]Emily[/name_f] still wait to overused? I dont care for[name_f]Amelia[/name_f].
Im interested in short, impossible to mispronounced or mispell names. Any suggestions. Is [name_f]Emily[/name_f] a turn off?
I still like [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. It’s still popular but it’s classic. I also dislike [name_f]Amelina[/name_f] but, strangely, love [name_f]Emilia[/name_f].
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite short, simple names are:
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]/[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is still too overused.

I detest [name_f]Emily[/name_f] but agree that two-syllable or potentially one-syllable names are the best. I hate the fussy, whiney names which are most popular such as [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and worst- [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].
Here are some options…
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Maia[/name_f]
[name_f]Katie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eimear[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Beryl[/name_f]
[name_f]Jewel[/name_f]
[name_f]Emme[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Lissa[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is still overused, I’m also just not a fan of it in general (or [name_f]Emma[/name_f]).

It is very popular, but I think I’m beginning to see it’s simplistic beauty a bit more lately. [name_f]My[/name_f] 15 yr old sister in law’s name is [name_f]Emily[/name_f], and she is so very innocent, lovely and sweet. And I’ve now known her since she was 11, so I’ve defintely grown to appreciate the name as I’ve been getting to know her. Her name suits her perfectly, and my nickname for her is [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] 
Suggestions:
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]/[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]- I adore this name!
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
There is an [name_f]Emily[/name_f] in my son’s day care, and she is the sweetest thing. I was actually shocked, as it seems everyone is so anti-[name_f]Emily[/name_f] these days. But maybe that’s just on name forums. It almost even felt fresh to me–a classic among all the current trends. But I guess it’s still pretty popular.
Still, I say if you love it, use it! However, there are plenty of easy to spell, easy to pronounce names out there that are way less popular.
I do still hear it often, but not as often as [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f]. I think you can’t go wrong with a classic like that. All of the simple classics are popular for a reason.
Bump…
Yes, it is very popular. Simple and sweet, but still up there.
