"Emma" (and "Isabella," for that matter) has ended "Emily's" 12-year reign as the top name for baby girls. Jacob kept its spot for the 10th year in the row for boy names.

She knows that I love the name, which is why I asked her to change it to Emily officially.

Emily is a gorgeous name. It's one of those names that makes you think of sunshine and warm blankets that just came out of the dryer.
What was her name originally?

Hmmm. Warm blankets
Her name was Kelly Emily, but she despised the name Kelly. I don't know why, perhaps seen as too common. She has always been known to me as Emily, even when we first met in High School, I had no idea. Then I persuaded her to change her name officially to Emily Clare before the wedding.

Then I am glad you persuaded her to change it. I like the name Emily much more than Kelly!

Aw, I'm sorry, but I find that so sad! While I much prefer Emily Clare to Kelly Emily, her parents chose that name for her. It must have meant something to them. I would be so hurt if my child changed his/her name.

Well my Mum never really liked the name Kelly, but my Dad insisted that it would be first name. But they always called me Emily. I have to say, I did ask my parents if they wouldn't mind me changing my name and they wanted me to be happy with whatever name I chose.
I'm not that mean towards my Mum & Dad.

I have to say that i like Emily and Emma equaly. They're both beautiful with a sort of simple elegance. -I think that sounded slightly corny. But it's true. Isabella is also pretty, but i prefer Isobel as it's less common. Funny how Jacob has managed to keep it's place for TEN years..
