You say "Emmett" and I think "Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas."
And I don't think there's anything negative about Emmett Till (whom I just looked up).
There are approximately 17 billion Alex's in the world. 
OK, not true, but it feels like it. Everywhere we go, there are at least 2 Alex's - usually a "boy Alex" and a "girl Alex". Alex is one of my favorite names too.

Child #1: Is that your mother?
Child #2: Yes.
Child #1: Why is she white and you are black?
Child #2: Because I am adopted, and black people have more melanin than white people do.
Child #1: Oh, let's go on the high bars.
