Emma?

I think it's a really pretty name, but is it very popular at the moment and do you think it's boring?

Do you prefer Emma Carys or Carys Emma?
Emma Harriet?

Any other suggestions to go with Emma? I like fairly classic/traditional names... a bit unusual is fine but don't like anything really "out there".

Thanks!

All the Emmas I've ever met have been lovely. I've never come across a nasty Emma.

I prefer Jemma.

Emma is ok, bit blank. No worse than Lily or Ella. I categorise them in the same vein, so if you like those names you will ignore me.

I like Emma. Carys is nice too but might be slightly biased as my lovely niece (5) is Carys. Also like Harriet.

You could go completely retro and have Emma Jane.

I don't know any little Emmas - the youngest I know is 14. It's lovely - classic and timeless.

I wouldn't do Emma Harriet, though, unless you want to be thought of as a Jane Austen fan!

I love it, a perfect English girl's name.

Boring for me, sorry. I know I'll be in the minority though.
