Is this name too plain/boring/90s?!

Emma.

Knew a lot at school in 90s...

But I keep getting drawn to it!

Not boring at all, this is the sort of name where she is likely to be the only one in her class with it and it has the added benefit of everyone knowing how to spell it and pronounce it. Grin

I think it was boring 20 years ago but it seems quite rare now. I love it, i was just watching Friends the other day when Rachel named the baby Emma and thought it should be more popular

I think it’s a nice name! The fact that it’s less popular these days can only be a good thing, less chance of 7 Emma’s in her class.

it is very classic, and like it.

But then I am not a fan of all the fussy names, and like a clean classic!

It's a nice name, you do still get a few young Emmas, just not as many as there used to be.

It's not boring.
