Is this name too plain/boring/90s?!

[brodiee]

Emma.

Knew a lot at school in 90s...

But I keep getting drawn to it!

Emma is beautiful and timeless - an excellent choice.

Lovely name.

It's classic and classless - it's not one of those names which give people preconceptions as to what the person will be like.

I think it's a little dated, only because it was so popular in the 80s/90s. It's still a nice name and could become a classic if people carry on using it. My 6 year old keeps saying that she wishes it was her name lately!

I'm not wild about Emma, though it's inoffensive. I can't put my finger on it, but a name like Anna seems much more timeless and classy to me. Emma is just a bit...meh.

Not at all dated. Simple, pretty and international. I can see how it might be thought a bit bland, but I don't think that myself, and tbh what we want for our children is a name that will go through life well with them - Emma is certainly that.

Emma is a gorgeous name. My cousin’s little girl is called Emma and if we’d had girls and my cousin hadn’t used the name I would have done. I don’t think it’s boring at all.

It's one of my dd's middle names and I love it. I chose it partly because I have a lot of good friends with the same name!

Bit dated in my opinion. It's in the same batch as Sarah, Stacey or Lindsay for me.

Emma.

Still fairly popular round here. There are two 5 year olds in one class with this name at my school. My 7y niece is called this too.

It was number 52 in the 2017 baby names of 2017 in UK

As already has been said, it's a beautiful, classical name .
Same goes for Ann, Alice and Jane .
(a bit 'outing' of me )

Go for it. It’s a beautiful name, it’s not overly common at the moment so she’ll probably be the only Emma in her class at school. However it’s still a very well known name so it won’t be misspelled or mispronounced, a big bonus.

I think it’s a great choice, very pretty name.

Classic name, a lot better than some of those that are fashionable now.

I like it although I secretly prefer Emily

That was going to be my baby boys name if he had been a girl and he was o ly born this summer. I think it will still be our name of we have a girl in the future

I teach secondary and there are quite a few teen Emmas - one in every class I teach pretty much. I wonder if there was a little Emma surge when Rachel from Friends used it!

I'm an Emma.

It's a bit boring but nobody spells or pronounces it wrong. I went to high school in the early 2000s and there were 8 of us in my year - 7 with the same middle name!

I really like it.

Emma Louise I'd guess?

It's my favourite girls' name, but I never got to use it as I had all boys. It's a short, neat name, it's international, classless, easy to pronounce, classic and has been in use for centuries. I adore it.

I love it - Emma Jane

I have an Emma (2005), in her year there's her and one other.

At primary school she was the only one the whole time she was there.

Lovely name. There are still quite a few babies named Emma.

I have an Etta and for some reason she calls half her dolls Emma! She’s only 4 so I doubt she sees it as an old fashioned name.

I knew this would be Emma . Laura was my first reserve.

Go for it- it's genuinely timeless, and you've escaped the 1990s ubiquity now. It's a great name.
