My SO loves this name so much, I like it too but I love Hallie...I don't have the heart to say no to him and its his first and will be his only daughter, but if it's honestly that bad I will try convince him otherwise gently
...Honest opinions please, thanks ladies

    It reminds me of embryo. Can you picture a grown woman with that name? I mean if he loves it that much, suggest it goes in the middle name spot.

    Sounds made up and trendy.

    Sorry, but I agree with the above comments. Sounds totally made up, and my first thought was embryo. How about Aubrey or Audrey.

    I agree it's not a good choice. Seems made up to me, both spellings.  Maybe he'd go for Emerson, Everly, Amber, Aubrey?

    Hard pass on this name. It screams forever 3 year old.

    It's a no for me, but as pp suggested, Embry is a much better spelling.

    It’s not good. At all. Please don’t. 
    Consider Ember or at least Embry

    Sorry, I’m with everyone else. I strongly dislike it. Maybe you could sell him on Hailey Amber/Ember? Also love PP suggestion of Aubrey.  Emma is pretty popular, but still a lovely name, or Emeline with nickname Emme or Emmy?

    I usually like different names like these (do not like classic, boring names at all), but I do think "embryo" right away when I read it.   I have a friend who's daughter is named "Emrie"  and I think it's pretty cute.  I do also like the suggestions of Aubrey and Everly.

    I used to be obsessed with Embry for a boy after I heard it in a movie (I've since moved on it from it), so to me Embry makes me think boy not girl. Also it looks super trendy

    Not a fan of Embree or Embreigh. Seems "made up" and forced. I know you said you liked Hallie, but even that doesn't seem like a "real name" to me-- more a nickname. She will grow up an may want someday to be a surgeon or a judge. How about:

    Helen/Helena/Helene  nn Hallie
    Audrey
    Allison nn Allie
    Hannah
    Brie
    Gabrielle nn Elle or Ellie
    Eleanor nn Elle or Ellie
    Elena nn Elle or Ellie
    Leslie

    Hallie is a lot better. Embree/Embreigh is really bad. Really. 

    Maybe:
    Emily
    Emmeline
    Aubrey

    I don't know if anyone else will jump to "embry riddle flight school" like i did, but also just typing it it autocorrected to embryo....i can see the appeal cuz I like names like that too but this name, spelled embry, is boy to me, and spelled either or the ways you provided screams speshul snowflake to me. I knew a girl named amberly and kymber, those were kind of different, but otherwise Amber, aubree, Audrey, any variation of emily (emilia, emmeline, etc) would be other options

    Honest opinion? One of the worst names that I have seen on here in awhile. My mind goes straight to embryo. 
    Amber
    Amanda
    Maranda 
    Emily Bree (family nn Em-Bree)
    Give her something solid , then have fun with the nn"s

    I saw this thread the other day and then saw a commercial for some prescription drug called Enbrel.

    Good grief. ..i think it’s cute. It’s different. I like emery better but I see the appeal of embree. You could call her any nickname for Emma/Emily(em,emmy,etc) or any “Bree” type nickname. It’s really not that bad. I like hallie too though. As for the whole embryo deal... you’d have to be pretty shortsighted to think that in my opinion.

    I don't really like Embree or Embreigh. The spelling makes it look childish. Plus the Em- names are getting so popular (Emma, Emily, Emerson). Hallie is much better.
