Me too actually! But not even because I hated the name Emma, just because it seemed so nothingy and unremarkable, I couldn't believe a) Monica loved it so much and b) Rachel wouldn't have thought of it herself when it was so common!

Show quote history

But also Emma is so similar to Ross ex wife Emily lol

Emma. It's objectively a nice enough name but I've never met an Emma who isn't a complete PITA. Sorry to all the Emmas.

Funny, all the Emmas I've know have been sweethearts!
