Emily
Classic girl's name
Emily is a feminine given name, consistently among the most popular in English-speaking countries since the 1990s.
It suggests a certain generational marker—a classroom in 2005 might have three Emilys.
The name carries connotations of conventional femininity without being old-fashioned: Emily brought cupcakes for the office.
Sometimes used as a placeholder name for a generic young woman.
