Emma

?

[FlingonTheValiant]

Number 1 in many European countries. For a good reason :)

[growing3rdbump]

I wanted it for DD, but cant due to surname . Beautiful name.

[2cats2many]

Nice.

[Makingaminime]

Love it. Classic, pretty, suits all ages and all sorts of LO's.

My sister is Emma, i think it's a lovely, elegant name. As a children of the 80's there were a lot of Emmas in our school of but I don't think it's quite so common a name now.

[nulgirl]

My dd is called Emma. Chose it because it is classic, timeless and works well in different languages- dh is French. I like it but must admit there are times when I wish we had gone for something a bit more unusual.

[mynaughtylittlesister]

I have an Emma, nearly 17 now, still love it! :)

[Pterosaur]

Emma was my DH's best suggestion for DD2. Might well have used it, but DD1 is Anna - too much alike.

[cookingbaby2]

Apologies for my terrible grammar - time for bed!!

[Hangingbellyofbabylon]

I have an Emma - it is a lovely name. Easy to say, easy to spell , a real classic.

[Kleftico]

Lovely. Beautiful choice, classic English name.

[GoodDaysBadDays]

Another one with a dd called Emma.

We spent a week deciding on her name after she was born, after 3 boys wanted to get it right! We had some very girly and flowery names in the running but settled on Emma as it is (i think) a solid, strong, classic name.

Like nulgirl I do have moments where I think I could have been more adventurous but although I know a lot of grown-up Emmas, I haven't met any my dd's age recently (21 months)

[jojodancer]

I absolutely adore it, and it's my 91-yr-old grandma's name.

I would love to name current bump (if it's a DD!) Emma but it doesn't go with our surname... am very tempted with it as a middle name though

[chicaguapa]

Another one with an Emma. I don't regret choosing it. I know plenty of adults called Emma though, but have only ever come across one other child, and she was a few years younger.

[Whelk]

I'm not keen, just a bit boring imo

[onepieceoflollipop]

It was my top girl's name for dd1 and dd2 but neither of them suited it. We used an almost equivalent classic name (also beginning with E) for dd2. :)

It is the name of one of my most lovely friends, and I also wanted to use it for that reason.

[SouthGoingZax]

Lovely but rather boooooooooorrring.

[Bucharest]

It's lovely.
It was very popular in the 80s I suppose, but I love to hear of Emmas being born now.

[VajazzHands]

I think its lovely :)

[helendigestives]

Lovely. Would like to use it, but it's DH's sister's name.

[Tidey]

There were three in my year at primary, and about seven in my year at secondary school, so my immediate thought is 'very common' but I don't actaully know of any baby / small girl Emmas so maybe it isn't. Quite dull though. Bit sort of, Sarah, Laura, Jennifer type name.

[devoncreamtea]

Did you pick it in the end? My daughter is an Emma, my dh chose it, wasn't sure at first - but now I love it, it's a beautiful name.

[weimy]

bit dull.

[Tortington]

i have one - but i would rather have had Esme - which is what i call her
