Comments and insights on the name Emmett

Personal experiences with the name Emmett

My son's name is Emmett Mitchell, which when he was born was never a problem, but now he sometimes gets made fun of for it. After Twilight got really big, kids from school would call him a vampire and stuff. My husband and I still love the name, and so does our son, but it has turned out to be problematic lately:/
