    I adore the name Lily. It was on the top or our girls list at one stage. Since our M/C I have noticed that there are an awful lot of LIly's in our area and so if we are lucky enough to fall again I don't think Lily will be as high up for us. Emmet is a cool name. I love it!

    I agree that Lily is beautiful, but way too common. I know so many people with Lily's and Ruby's. What about Maggie to keep in with the famiy connection?

    Emmet is different, a little American sounding for me, but it's growing on me.

    Good luck. It's so hard to choose names.

    Thanks for the replies everyone.

    My partner is very keen on Lily and was upset when I mentioned about the popularity and my concerns. However we've concluded that we'd both be disappointed if we didn't use it because of that even though it's popular. It's so hard to agree on names as it is, so for now it's still at the top of the list - but I'm hoping something will pop up between now and when we have our baby that we love as much but isn't so popular.

    As for Emmet, we're pretty stuck on it - and I love the mixed reactions. It is a little American, as we heard it on an American show.

    As for Maggie - this is the name of my parents' new Labrador puppy. It's a great name though.

    Don't let popular turn you off, it just means lots of people think you chose a great name!
