If you live in the deep south, people might think about Emmett Till, but otherwise I think you're okay. And even if they do, it was the murder of this boy that was one of the catalysts for the Civil Rights Movement. As I see it, you're still okay.

And btw, whenever I see the name Emmett, I think of Emmett Kelley, the clown. Then I think of Emmitt Smith. Both of them were great in their own way.

I think it's a wonderful name for a boy.

If you love the name, use it.
