Emmett

原I happen to know a man named Emmett O'Hanlon, and he is a humble, nice, well-built, handsome Irish/American singer (Celtic Thunder + Oprah). I love the name, it rolls off of the tongue very easily, and is one of those kind of safe-haven feeling names. Almost like you can trust an Emmett. There is also another Emmet spelling used with another young man from Celtic Thunder, and the spelling is only different in missing that last 't' at the end.

原I have always loved the name, since I was a young girl. I always wanted to have a son named Emmet/Emmett! Took me until my 3rd son before I could convince my husband of the name ;) And we jacked the spelling, because we felt like it. So our 3rd son is named Emytt. I love it!

原No one has mentioned Emmet from the movie Roadhouse. That's where I first heard the name when I was younger.

原Emmett Fitz-Hume from the 1985 movie "Spies Like Us".

原In Ireland the name Emmett or Emmet became popular from the patriot Robert Emmet. He was a Protestant who died for Irish independence.My understanding the meaning active or lively comes from the German surname. [noted -ed]

原Don't forget about Emmett Clatk in Mayberryhttp://mayberry.wikia.com/wiki/Emmett_Clark.

原I seem to recall reading somewhere that Emmet meant something like 'a small stream' in Irish usage.In the Bible, it does indeed mean 'truth'.

原Could the name Emmett have roots in Hebrew?http://www.ldswomenofgod.com/truth-in-hebrew/

原It's a very preppy name. Makes me think of old American high schools in Autumn.Also, it makes me think of Doc Brown from Back to the Future and Emmett from Twilight. It makes me wonder if a child would get teased for this name when they're a teen, but for any baby born nowadays, the Twilight reference won't be so bad in say, 15 years time. And not many teenagers would realize Doc's first name is Emmett.

原Emmett is the main character in The LEGO Movie.

原My 3 year old sons name! He is super strong and muscular (already has abs and was walking at 8 months!) and VERY smart! No baby gate could ever keep him in. He will see someone do something and after that he just does it. He has light brown hair with red and blond in it that has a curl at the ends. Large blue eyes, and a big smile with full lips. I love his name Emmett Cole. It sounds to me like the name of a super strong heroic guy kind of like Thor or Superman. That is why I picked that name.

原Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was an African-American boy who was murdered in Mississippi at the age of 14 after reportedly flirting with a white woman.

原I absolutely adore this name. My 4 year old is named Emmett, he's received quite a few compliments on it. To me, Emmett reflects old world charm and a strong sense of masculinity. I find it very hard to imagine an Emmett who isn't strong, both physically and mentally. I also think it has a rugged, 19th century feel like his big brother's name, August. I have a feeling this name will rise even more in popularity in the next few years, and my son would love to meet another little boy that shares his name!

原Emmet is a derogatory word for a tourist in Cornwall.

原The variant "Emmet" is used for a character in the English localization of Pokemon Black and White. He and his brother Ingo are the head of the "battle subway". Their names are used thematically as puns. ("Emmet" -> Emmit -> Outgoing ; "Ingo" -> In Go -> Incoming)

原Even with the absolutely horrid Twilight-namesake, Emmett is a clean, professional name. I like it.

原There is something slightly redneck about this name, but in an excitingly sexy sort of way.

原This name is so sad to me because of the little boy Emmett Till. I had to read a poem about him in school. It was depressing.

原I can't help but think of the Beverly Hillbillies because of this name. It's so redneck sounding.

原I can't believe no one has mentioned famous clown Emmett Kelly aka Weary Willie.

原Personally, Emmett is a little boys name. I can imagine a little boy with curly hair, but I can't think of a tall, muscular older Emmett.

原Emmett Cullen (born Emmett McCarty) is Rosalie's husband, Carlisle and Esme's adopted son in the Twilight Saga and Edward, Alice, and Jasper's adoptive brother. Emmett is described as being tall, burly, extremely muscular, and, to most humans, the most intimidating of his adoptive siblings. He has slightly curly dark hair and dimpled cheeks.Emmett was 20 and living in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in 1935 when he was mauled by a bear. The injuries from the attack were severe and he was found by Rosalie, who had been hunting in the area at the time. Rosalie, who was reminded of her friend's baby having the same curls, dimples, and innocent appearance, carried him over a hundred miles to Appalachia where Carlisle Cullen was, asking him to spare Emmett's life by turning him into a vampire. Emmett joined Carlisle's coven, but initially had trouble adjusting to the family's diet of animal blood. In Twilight, Emmett is at first wary of Bella, but eventually warms up to her. He often teases her for her clumsiness and constant blushing, and votes in favor of her becoming a vampire in New Moon.

原I always thought Emmett was pronounced like 'em-ET'. That's how I've always pronounced it, and I'll probably never get used to 'em-IT'!

原I love the name Emmett. If I have a son I'd like him to have this name except I would probably spell it like Emmitt.

原I always think of the old Jim Henson movies, like "Emmett Otter and the Jugband Christmas".

原Emmett Littleton Ashford was the first African American baseball umpire. =)

原When I first started hearing this name, I wasn't too fond of it. However, I've heard it so much now that it's grown on me. And now I love it! I always think of a tall, dark, and muscular sort, probably because I always picture Emmett from "Twilight."

原Emmett Till was a black boy from Chicago, Illinois who was brutally beaten and murdered in 1955 for saying something to a white woman in Money, Mississippi.

原Emmett was Elle's boyfriend/husband in Legally Blonde. Personally. I love the name and hope to use it.

原I can't help but think of some kooky and clumsy old man when I hear or see this name.

原It sounds horrible. Just reminds me of "Hit-it". "Em-it" like em is a verb. Urgh.

原Emmett makes me think of a really muscular guy who has no interest in education. Kind of like Emmett in Twilight.

原Emmitt Smith spells his name Emmitt.

原Emmett Smith is a hall of fame caliber American football player (retired, Dallas Cowboys). Alternate spelling Emmitt.

原The name Emmett is a goofy name to me. Like someone who would be slow or dumb.

原I have heard this name used for a girl and it is spelt Emmot but I prefer it for a boy with the original spelling.

原Nice alternative to the overused Emma.

原In the delightfully hilarious BBC comedy "Keeping Up Appearances" (starring Patricia Routledge), Emmett is the name of the neighbor of the main character, Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced like 'Bouquet'), an annoying upper-class wannabe who is a bit of a know-it-all and a prick. Emmett can't stand Hyacinth, but she is totally convinced that he has somewhat of a crush on her. "I do fluster him so", she claims.

原Name of one of the vampires in Stephenie Meyer's book Twilight.

原In the Back to the Future trilogy, Doc (Christopher Lloyd) is called Dr. Emmett Brown.

原I have always been told that EMMETT means "Industrious" or more directly “like an ant” or “look to the ant”.

原Means "truth" in Hebrew.
