Is Emma a bit "meh"

[MrsSnow1]

DD1 due September. Already have 3 year old Henry.

I've always loved Emma. DH likes it also but thinks it is a bit bland. He really likes Bryony and Lana. I like them both also but really really love Emma. Is he right? Is it bland?

Thank you in advance :)

I know 3 DDs ages (between 3 and 5).

But also have 3 close friends called Emma so each one is always referenced with a short description (worked at x, mum to y, lives in z).

It's an ageless timeless classic but much too dull for me.

It is very nice indeed

I love it!

I'm a Lana. I don't know another one, and I constantly get compliments on how lovely and unusual it is.

Was a bit of a pain when classmates did the 'lets spell our names backwards' game though

I love Emma.

To me, Bryony is just Bryan with a 'y' on the end.

Lana is ok.

Emma is a sensible name, as is Henry. Well done.

It's inoffensive but dull

Meh, dull - how dare you all! It is a timeless classic (not a bit biased at all me)

Lovely name. Its classic and goes very well with Henry.

Not keen on your DHs suggestions.

I love it and it was on our list for dd3 along with Anna which I also adore! We didn't use either name though as it didn't suit her when she was born.

Love the name Emma! Go for it!

If you have any Irish connection, Emer (ee-mer) is really nice.

the only person married to 2 kings of England was an Emma

Tortally Meh as is Emily. Your other names ate far more interesting.

Henry and Kate
Henry and Catherine
Iris
Luna

It's not good.

It's lovely, my favourite girls' name.

I didn't get to use it myself as I had all boys.

Emma is a very excellent name (I am totally unbiased, obviously.)

One thing in its favour - people can usually pronounce it and spell it without any issue, regardless of their first language (at least in Europe.) This is a bonus if she ends up working for a multinational.

Colleagues in Sweden, Netherlands and England all have daughters called Emma, born since I first met them. It's not actually compulsory, though.

I do love Emma. I considered it but slightly too popular for me - I don't think it is as popular as it used to be though. I much, much prefer it to Bryony or Lana!

I like Emma! You don't see many young Emma's around these days.

I've known Emma's that are delicate, Emma's that are studious and Emma's that are fierce (in a good way).

I've never known a difficult Emma.

(Apostrophes added by iOS, I can't work out if they're correctly placed.)

I'm thinking of Emma for 2nd DC due in Feb. I already have a Rebecca DD3.5

I love it,tell your dh the decision is made

Sorry but I think it's very dull. Prefer the other names.

Lana is a bit inner city estate to me. Bryony is much like Brian

Emma is stunning, classic,timeless. Emmeline is even nicer!

Emma is lovely. It's not exciting but it is both pretty and classy.

Bryony and Lana are both a little bit horrible. Lana better than Bryony by a whisker.
