Both are lovely. One is my sisters name and one is my nieces name.

Both absolutely beautiful names. Grace is my Niece's and DD's middle name and Emma is my sisters name - I do prefer Emma as a first name though. Classically beautiful.

Grace.
Emma doesn't feel like a proper name to me. It's a short form of Emmeline, Amela, etc, and I'm not keen on short-form names.

Emma is not a short form of Emmeline and Amela etc. It's a name in its own right and was used and introduced to the UK before Emmeline et al.

Emma gorgeous name and there aren't many around (primary and secondary age) - loads of Emily's, Amalie's, Amelia's. Also easy to spell.

Grace also lovely but IMO not as nice - also loads more around.

daisypond Emma is not a short form! It's a real name - what an odd comment!! I don't think Jane Austen was the type to use abbreviations Smile
