My OH and I have recently started trying. We already have some names on the list (and have done for quite some time now). We're really keen on Lily for a girl, and we've had really positive responses from the few we've mentioned it to. I've done some searches around the internet and have found that Lily is quite popular at the moment. I don't really want my child to be in a class room with three or four other children with the same name as my brother Ben did in the 90's! I remember having 4 daniels, 3 Matthews etc etc... I'm worried about the same thing happening with Lily! I'm not sure it's enough to put me off using it as I love it so much. What do you guys think?
But anyway, here are our favorite name combinations.
Lily Margaret (she will be the fourth generation first born daughter to carry Margaret as a middle name. Me, Mum and Mama all have it and it was Mama's grandmother's FN.)
Emmet James for a boy. James is OH's middle name, and is also a family name used for many many generations.
What do you think? I hope they don't irk you straight away!
I love Emmet! I'm like you though and I'm not keen on popular names so I wouldn't choose Lily. It's pretty but she would have another Lily in her class for sure I'd say.
My cousin's little girl is Lilli - and I think thats pretty.
Emmet is ok - reminds me of a guy who took me to a senior dance at high school, then nicked off with another girl so I don't have a GOOD feeling about that name, but thats not the name's fault.. lol
I think they both sound very nice! Lily is a beautiful name, however i know what you mean about being 5 in there class! It is quite popular at the moment, but if thats what name you love then it dosnt matter.. You could look into names like LIly?? i.e lila etc..
Love boys name, sounds great!
Yeh, i'm so sorry to admit but i too second Ren's comment
Wow, what an unusual boy's name Emmet ... it's growing on me
All the heartfelt best in name chosing ... not always as easy a task as some might think as you know it's a decision to last a lifetime ... and thereafter
to be honest i'm not a fan of emmet.
and i'm kinda with the others on the Lilly being a name thats too popular.
We were the same when we were piking a boys name. I LOVED lachlan but then eveyone started naming their boys lachlan.
Hugs

I'm in concurrence with most of the others - I love Emmet, and Lily is sweet, but probably not that uncommon. How about names that might have a similar feel? You could try a great website I love for names called Nymbler, which suggests names based on what you already like.
General Opinions on our faves?
