Middle name for Emma

Suggestions for a middle name for Emma please?
I feel like it needs to either be one syllable or 3/4, in order to "flow"! Happy to be corrected though!
Just finding it a difficult name to match middle names with....

I'm another Emma Louise (I was nearly Emma Jane.) I reckon about half the girls in my year at school had Louise as a middle name, and I suspect the other Emma Louises in this thread may be of a similar vintage to me.

Emma Florence is lovely, and if you really can't have references to Everton in your family maybe you could slip in another name..

Emma Florence is probably my fave so far!

What about Emma Florence? I love both names and Florence has family significance. My only issue is it would make initials EFC as in Everton Football Club, which would be a big no-no in our house! Grin

Thanks for the continuing suggestions and comments!

How about Beth? I see your point about the proliferation of Roses Smile

Another Emma Louise here. Or Emma Lou as I was called growing up.

The other Emmas I know are all Jane/jayne.

I would go for something a bit more unsual.

For my generation, Emma Louise does seem a very popular combination! It flows brilliantly though, so I can see why it is popular. All the Emmas I know seem to be Emma Jane or Emma Louise.

Tiredemma I also love the name Esme. A good friend has a daughter by this name, otherwise I think it would definitely be on my short list. Emma is just so classic and beautiful and elegantly simple!

I do love the name Rose, but so many people seem to use it as a middle name at the moment which has perhaps put me off slightly? Emma Rose is very pretty though.

Ann/Annie is actually one of our family names that I'd love to use. Now you've said it, Emma Ann does flow quite nicely with our surname (unusual, 3 syllables, begins with a C). So thank you!

Ours is Ann. We chose it for family reasons but I do think it flows nicely.

Marjorie/Margery

Hoojimiflip · 07/10/2013 14:16

Rose.

Tiredemma · 07/10/2013 14:11

Im Emma Louise.

Every Emma I know has Louise for middle name.

Emma is a beautiful name btw, I wanted something slightly similar for DD- decided on Esme.

breakingbadaddict · 07/10/2013 14:10

Mine is Dorothy & I love it!

Hadmeathello · 07/10/2013 14:09

Was also going to say Emma Louise. The Emma I know has Frances as a middle name which I like.

WheresMyCow · 07/10/2013 14:06

Emma Joanne also works well or at least it has done for me for the last 40 years Grin

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 07/10/2013 14:05

I am an Emma Louise (outs self totally!). I like how it sounds and it 'flows' IYSWIM?
