Opinion on girl's name

aldarr

Hey ladies! Just looking for some honest opinions on a girls name my husband and I were tossing around.  We were both close with our maternal grandmother's who have both passed away.  My grandmother's name was Emily and his was Mary.  We did not want a extremely popular name (like Emily) so we were thinking about Emery Grace, with Emery being a sort of combination of Emily and Mary. We aren't set on it yet, so please give me your input good or bad. Thanks!

Emery is a nice name indeed!

Immediate association: nail file.

Good effort, though!  

What about Emmeline?

I like Emery (I know 2 men named Emery but still like it for a girl).

I just can't hear this name without thinking of emery boards. I really do not like it.

What about Mary Emily, or Marilie, or, I don't know, something else.

I really like Emery Grace, its a very pretty name.

No. Emery reminds me of a nail file and strikes me as trendy/made up. I wouldn't have ever thought Emily and Mary got mashed up to equal Emery. My cousin just used Emory for her baby and I really dislike it.

You could use an E or an M name to honor Emily and Mary. Grace is a "filler" name that's popular right now, so I would just use a deriviative of Emily for either first or middle and Mary as the other.

Some Mary variations: Margaret, Moira, Maura, Molly, Maren, Marielle, Mara, Miriam, Marika, Marilyn,

Other M names: Meredith, Maeve, Marissa, Melinda, Maya

Some Emily variations: Amelia, Emelia, Emma

Other E names: Eden, Elsa, Elise, Elaina, Elizabeth, Evelyn

Thanks for the input ladies! We are still going through a bunch of names so we'll see what sticks.  I was laughing at some of the names thrown out because a lot of those names were on my list too. I really like Evelyn and Molly but DH didn't care for them. Oh well, thanks for honest opinions. :-)

My friends daughter is Mary Emily and they call her by both names.  It's nms, but it's still a nice name.

What about Emma Marie?

Though, I guess that is still popular.  Emme Marie?

I love how thoughtful the name is. I love old family names and you combined two!

It sounds very trendy, 2011 to me, especially with Grace as the MN, it is a very standard MN. I have friends with a DD named Emmery (hate the double M but not my kid) and I have nothing against the name other then it is not very feminine.

Agree with all the nail file folks.

I like the sentiment, though. How about Mariel?
