For months I've been set on Emma, now the time is nearly here I'm not sure if I'm really sure.
I thought of Anna but haven't heard it used on a child lately.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I love both Emma and Anna. Timeless classics, elegant and simple. I would be very happy to be called either. Anna has the advantage of being less commonly used, if that’s important to you? I don’t think either name is dated, but both are less commonly used than they used to be.

Anna is so dated. I mean, since the Virgin Mary's grandmother Ismeria used it for the Virgin Mary's mother, Anna has gone right out of fashion

Maybe you should use Ismeria instead OP

My dd is Anna, 4 years old. We hear 'what a beautiful name' often and she suits her name. I love it.

Well, it's been used since pre-Christian times but if you say it's over, I defer to your wisdom. They were a good few millennia while they lasted though, Annas of the world.

Both are beautiful, classic names.

Anna will never have had its moment, it's a beautiful timeless name.

Anna's been a classic name for centuries. It's not overused now but I do know a few young girls called Anna. I certainly don't think it's had it's moment. It will always be a classic. It's a lovely name.

I know a preschooler called Anna. It isn't an odd choice!
