Happens to be to be my name. Hated it when young. Love it now. Classic Smile

I think it's a very pretty name. :)

Beautiful name Grin!!!

Love it. Why try to be "original" (weird/pretentious) for the sake of it ?

There is a good reason why names are popular, because they are lovely names :)

If you like how it sounds then go for it. I think it's a lovely, classic name. For some people classic means old fashioned and boring. For me it means that their name will just be their name rather than their USP...

It isnt exciting or exotic, it's not unique or original, but it's a lovely, sound, traditional name. I would have called my second daughter Emma if she hadn't turned out to be a boy!

I really like it - I think it's lovely and surprisingly underused, at least where I am.

Do you think it's a bit boring, old fashioned, dull? Or totally the opposite? Or just nice, not one or the other?

I love Emma. Its classic and the Emma I know is very successful and well liked.

I'm a huge fan of what I think of as 'graceful names' and Emma is in that bracket.

I like it

Boring and over used in a Jane Austen sort of way. Is this the best name u can think of for your individual child?
