Baby Names

poll: which do you like best

Hi--

We are having the hardest time with a girls name. My husband really likes Emily but I am concerned about its popularity (although I do love the name). I don't want my daughter to be in class with 5 Emma/Emilys. So we just came up with Mia as another option we both like. Sloane happens to be my middle name and I'm not sure how I feel about that as a middle name for her but I like it with Mia. I am much less concerned with the middle names though.

Let me know what you think!

Re: poll: which do you like best

  • I voted for Mia Sloane but I like all of your name choices.

  • I had the same hesitation with the name Emily, but it was the only name that H and I loved. I was one of four Kristins in a class of 36, and I made it out okay. :) We're happy we went with what we loved.

    So of course I'm biased towards Emily, but I like all of your choices.

  • Sloane is my favorite of your MNs. I voted Mia Sloane, but really I like Emily Sloane, and you could use NN Mia if you decided later.
  • I LOVE Emily, but I'm biased, it's my DD's name.  While it is on the popular list, most of the Emily's we meet were born in the early 90's.  There have not been any other Emily's in her classes (school, art, soccer, swim, dance), but in her preschool class of 16 students there are 2 Mia's.  One pronounced Mee-ah and one pronounced My-ah.
  • I like both Mia and Emily, but am partial to Emily.  We were going to use Emily if our son had been a girl.  I think that although it may be a popular name, it definitely isn't trendy.  It is classic and beautiful.  We were going to call her Emmy.  For some reason, this time around we have shifted and are thinking about going with Evelyn.
  • I personally know 3 girls born that were named Mia in the past year or so.

    this?

  • I love Emily Paige.

    I also like Emily much better than Mia.

  • I like all your name choices...but Mia the best only because Emily is sooooo popular.
  • I like Sloan as a first name.
