Totally agree! Or like, Carson or Carter or Riley or something like that.

I know a baby Adeline, Dylan, and Cora, but only one each

But I’m not 100% on either yet. Any name ideas would be appreciated !!


There aren't any names that have 3+ kids in one class anymore. Even the top 10 names aren't repeated that much. There might be ONE, or maybe 2-3 in the entire school. But honestly, this is just not a concern you should have. Use the name you like.

I like Hadley over Mila. Also think there are a bunch of good suggestions on here!


Huh? My niece maya was one of 4 in her bunk at camp

FWIW, the only Mila I know is the child of a super-WASPy family and her older brother’s name is a really common very British sounding name.

Hadley isn’t as classic as Emmett. Hadley is akin to Madison or Everly.

How about:

Mia

Sloane

Nina

Marnie

Maeve

Bronwyn


How does Mila sound more “ethnic” than Maeve or Bronwyn?? What do you mean by “ethnic”?


Mila is typically a Slavic or Eastern European name. Maeve is Irish and Bronwyn is Welsh.

All 3 names are “ethnic”


Emmett is British or Irish…ultimately a classic wasp name.

Mila isn’t.


I see so now we’re calling names “ethnic” instead of just being outright racist and saying “that’s not a WASP-y enough name.”

Willa, Ruth, Margot, or Thea all feel like a similar vibe as Emmett to me.

I disagree, there are at least 3-4 kids each named Luca and Matteo in my kid's grade.


That’s a fluke. There are zero kids named Luca or Matteo at my kids’ elementary school k-5. The only names that repeat in my kids’ grades are: Nora and Theo.

I also like Mallory - something about the double consonants tying the two names together. Emmett has MM and TT, and Mallory with the LL

Plus I just like the name Mallory
