Emma

?

Number 1 in many European countries. For a good reason :)

I wanted it for DD, but cant due to surname . Beautiful name.

Nice.

Love it. Classic, pretty, suits all ages and all sorts of LO's.

My sister is Emma, i think it's a lovely, elegant name. As a children of the 80's there were a lot of Emmas in our school of but I don't think it's quite so common a name now.

My dd is called Emma. Chose it because it is classic, timeless and works well in different languages- dh is French. I like it but must admit there are times when I wish we had gone for something a bit more unusual.

I have an Emma, nearly 17 now, still love it! :)

Emma was my DH's best suggestion for DD2. Might well have used it, but DD1 is Anna - too much alike.

Apologies for my terrible grammar - time for bed!!

I have an Emma - it is a lovely name. Easy to say, easy to spell , a real classic.

Lovely. Beautiful choice, classic English name.

Another one with a dd called Emma.

We spent a week deciding on her name after she was born, after 3 boys wanted to get it right! We had some very girly and flowery names in the running but settled on Emma as it is (i think) a solid, strong, classic name.

Like nulgirl I do have moments where I think I could have been more adventurous but although I know a lot of grown-up Emmas, I haven't met any my dd's age recently (21 months)

I absolutely adore it, and it's my 91-yr-old grandma's name.

I would love to name current bump (if it's a DD!) Emma but it doesn't go with our surname... am very tempted with it as a middle name though

Another one with an Emma. I don't regret choosing it. I know plenty of adults called Emma though, but have only ever come across one other child, and she was a few years younger.

I'm not keen, just a bit boring imo

It was my top girl's name for dd1 and dd2 but neither of them suited it. We used an almost equivalent classic name (also beginning with E) for dd2. :)

It is the name of one of my most lovely friends, and I also wanted to use it for that reason.

Lovely but rather boooooooooorrring.

It's lovely.
It was very popular in the 80s I suppose, but I love to hear of Emmas being born now.

I think its lovely :)

Lovely. Would like to use it, but it's DH's sister's name.

There were three in my year at primary, and about seven in my year at secondary school, so my immediate thought is 'very common' but I don't actaully know of any baby / small girl Emmas so maybe it isn't. Quite dull though. Bit sort of, Sarah, Laura, Jennifer type name.

Did you pick it in the end? My daughter is an Emma, my dh chose it, wasn't sure at first - but now I love it, it's a beautiful name.

bit dull.

i have one - but i would rather have had Esme - which is what i call her
