Emma

[Hotpinkangel19]

What does everyone think of Emma as a baby girl's name? Nice for both young and older child?

Very nice. It's a lovely, classic name.

Gorgeous.

Lovely for a baby and child. (And can always be Emmie if want to be cute!) Teenager can be "Em" if they want a new cool nickname.

Suitable for an adult with a grown up job. (I know a doctor and an accountant who are Emmas and it suits them.)

Lovely. Would have used if family not already taken it. Fab for baby or adult and also like the Jane Austen connection.

Love it. It was dd3's name for a couple of days before we decided she didn't suit it.

I love the name Emma.

People log it on MN and think its a classic...but honestly, i thnk its a bit dated. I grew up in the 80s and there ere about 6 in my year. It was the most common girls name and just seemed very...plain.

I think Emme is nicer. Emmeline even better.

LOVE it not log it

Agree , in my year it was Emma and Claire / Clare

Thank you! Getting other people's opinions really helps! X

It's fine.

Nothing remotely either objectionable or interesting about it, I don't think.

DD is an Emma. Theres actually a thread on here from around the time she was born about how dull and boring it is

I love it. All the emmas i personally know are lovely and successful which swayed me. Plus its easy to spell. Which is one of the reasons we chose it stupid long surname

intending on using as a middle name for current pregnancy if its a girl and get that far.

strong, pretty and not common at the moment.

I love it too.

I have an 11 YO Emma, and she's the only one in her year at secondary school and was the only one at junior school.

I initially wanted Emily, but DH didn't.

Not too popular now, and a good strong classic name. I like it a lot.

I love it - I have one (year 7) - there aren't many around (loads of Emily's, Amelie's, Amelia's). Most importantly dd loves it.

And yes to easy to spell - as someone with a name people find hard to spell this is a big bonus!

That's my name, it's ok and was very popular in the 80's, not so much now.

Please don't double barrel it, mines a double barreled one and I hate it, doesn't suit me at all and I prefer em

Beautiful, timeless.

Simply beautiful!

Love this name

Love it. We would have used it if we had a girl, but it's my dh's ex wife's name so it was struck off the list.

Thank you, I love it!!! Not intending to double barrel either! Still unsure about middle names x

This is my best friend's name. it was supposedly very common at the time we were born, but she's the only Emma I know.

It's a nice name. Short, easy to spell and pronounce, feminine and classic. I prefer Emily, personally, but there's nothing wrong with Emma.

Very nice.

Very, very dated and rather boring.
