  • Comment left Feb 22, 2008: "It really isn't that hard to spell my name but people always do it wrong! ebany, abony, ebonie, eboni god there are loads. Emily is the most common misconception, and when i try to correct people they mostly come up with and amalgamation of the two, 'ebily' or 'emboly'. Which i don't think are even names. I must be honest i don't meet many others with my name." (Report as inappropriate)

Lol I know I've been teased in my childhood years for the name. I love it though. It defines me! Ying and yang. BALANCE. U can't habe one wit out the other!" (Report as inappropriate)
