Girl Names Like Emily

Classic girl name Emily has ranked among the top names in the United States since the early 1970s, making it one of the most enduring modern classic baby names for girls. It has influenced the rise of many similar sounding, but fresher girl names, such as Emma, Amelie, and Mila.

Along with Emma and Mila, other girl names like Emily in the US Top 100 include Amelia, Audrey, Camila, Evelyn, Lily, Penelope, Mia, and Emilia. Rare names that share some of Emily’s lovable qualities include Aurelie, Elowen, Emiko, and Ottilie.
