If we like Emma...

... which other girls' names might we like?

Currently expecting DD and I have always really liked the name Emma. I mentioned it to DH and he was keen too, but both of us are now wondering if we have settled too quickly without really thinking about it. Looking for other suggestions to get us thinking! We have one DS with quite a traditional boys' name, and are not keen on names that are too trendy / out-there. Other names I like:

Helena
Francesca
Imogen
Elizabeth
Rose
Lilian
Isabella

Anything to add to this list?

I love the name Emma (maybe because we have one), we also have Chloe and Sophie.

Emma is refreshingly simple and classic. Go for it!

Emma is lovely and a classic, it won't date badly, is easy to say and spell. It was very popular in the 1970s and 80s.
What is it that you like about it?
