Emily but I like all

WhatAmIDoingWrong123 · 01/04/2023 12:45

I like them all. Hannah is due a resurgence so I’d give it a go!

MajorCarolDanvers · 01/04/2023 12:43

All lovely. My order of preference

1 Emily
2 Emma
3 Hannah (also like Hanna)

Thisislifefornow · 01/04/2023 12:43

Emma

GOW56 · 01/04/2023 12:36

Hannah is my favourite

Mercy1968 · 01/04/2023 12:33

I have an Emma so Emma for me.
She's 29 now and apparently it was a top ten name in 94 when I had her but all through school she was the only one in her class.

Like Emily too but Emma just sounds a bit more feisty (and my one is!)

Don't like Hannah. Loads around 35 years ago when ds was born and would probably be a "mum" name now.

My Emma is often Em or Ems or Emsy.

Emma

Both Emma and Emily are on my shortlist.

FragranceFree · 31/03/2023 04:18

I like that Emily has Em/Ems/Milly as nicknames.

SubtleUserName · 31/03/2023 04:09

Emily Hannah Lastname.

Snappyfrog · 31/03/2023 03:56

Bland. All three. Hannah is particularly dull.

RestingMurderousFace · 31/03/2023 02:43

Emma is the prettiest.

Paesano · 31/03/2023 02:20

Hannah is lovely.

MissingMoominMamma · 31/03/2023 02:19

Emma, Hannah, Emily- in that order.

Emma definitely.Beautiful Classic name .

Theoldwoman · 31/03/2023 01:05

Emily

Luredbyapomegranate · 31/03/2023 00:00

Emma - it’s a classic and punchier than the other two

amylou8 · 29/03/2023 19:33

All lovely classic names, nothing to dislike about any of them. Emma is my favourite.

SallyWD · 29/03/2023 19:11

Emma or Emily

PaperwhiteTheGhost · 29/03/2023 19:10

Emma is the best name in the whole world.

All Emma's are beautiful, talented, funny, charismatic and charming.

They're pleasant classic names but slightly dated maybe? These were top 10 names in the 1990s, but perhaps not so much in the 2020s.

Where do they sit in the charts now? Anecdotally, I would say there are fewer young Hannahs and Emmas than Emilys these days.

I like Emma and Hannah equally, and Emily slightly less.

I was right!
