I'm an Emily, and the name apparently has conflicting meanings. Some say it means "rival." Most of the others I've read say it means "ambitious" or "industrious." I've also read "eager."

I'll settle for the translation I've read most consistently over the years, which is "industrious."

Then there's also my Plan B, which is to change my name to Mary.
