Middle name for Emma

42 replies

Yakadee · 17/11/2018 15:52

Hi everyone.

So, I think we've decided on Emma for our baby's name. Now looking at middle names to go. We did like Grace but I have had a niece since and that's her middle name (plus, my cousin has a Grace).

Any ideas please.

Our surname starts with R so maybe not something with an R.

Thanks guys xxx

Not quite what you asked, but what do you think about Emmeline, nn Emma?

Emmeline Roberts sounds beautiful.

Emma Joy is lovely.

I'd avoid a middle name starting with a vowel for the same reasons as Mike above.

DoAsYouWouldBeMumBy · 18/11/2018 16:09

Emma Joy is my favourite.

Emma is lovely. I would avoid a name starting with a vowel e.g. Anne as it will be pronounced Emmeranne.

Emma a nice name, I went to school with quite a few. Was quite popular in the 80s, haven’t heard it much in recent years. Nice to see it come back.!

Emma Rachel

ZebraKid71 · 17/11/2018 21:52

She's not super famous but well known amongst my age group. She's Julia Roberts neice.

I thinkits a common enough name for it not to matter though.

Yeah I've heard of her (that's why I didn't share my name originally) and she has had some bad press actually but didn't think she was that famous really.

We might not even stick with Emma 100% although it's the name we do both like the most? X

Yeah I googled her. Thanks though Smile.

My point was she isn’t famous enough to be a household name. Wouldn’t put me off at all.

I used to work with a Diana Ross Grin.

WithAFaeryHandInHand · 17/11/2018 19:45

I’ve never heard of Emma Roberts... I’m dreadfully out of touch though.

2anddone · 17/11/2018 19:43

Emma Jayne??

Eleanor90 · 17/11/2018 19:38

Emma Roberts is a fairly well-known actress, just FYI. Nothing scandalous about her though, as far as I know.

How about Emma Pearl, Emma Camille or Emma Elise?

Same here Womble
