    Comment left Jul 09, 2008: "I wish my name hadn't gotten so popular. I loved growing up never knowing another Emily. I was brn in 1970. Now I hear my name being called in public all of the time, and it is by a mom calling a 5 year old usually. It will always be a pretty, classic name, but it needs a break from the top 10 for a while." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 09, 2008: "My name is Emily, and i like it. cause its not common in my neighbourhood." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 02, 2008: "My name is Emily. In 1975, when I was born it was not a common name at all. Growing up I only met one or two other Emilys and I really liked it that way. I thought it was an unusual name until about 10 years ago when every child seemed to get my name! Now it's like Melissa or Jennifer was growing up. There are 12 per class! While I loved growing up with my name, I'd never choose such a common name for a baby now. There are lots of other pretty names that let your child be unique." (Report as inappropriate)
