Back in 1990's, I had talked with a customer service rep on the phone, and when she said her name was Emily I thought what a beautiful name that I hadn't heard in a long time.....
That year, there were more Emily's named than any other name! I guess that customer service person inspired a lot of people........
On the other hand, my son's name Elliot (named after grandfather) was the only one in his entire school. Amazing, you can't even find it on any novelty keychain or other item in the gift shops.
