If we like Emma...

... which other girls' names might we like?

Currently expecting DD and I have always really liked the name Emma. I mentioned it to DH and he was keen too, but both of us are now wondering if we have settled too quickly without really thinking about it. Looking for other suggestions to get us thinking! We have one DS with quite a traditional boys' name, and are not keen on names that are too trendy / out-there. Other names I like:

Helena
Francesca
Imogen
Elizabeth
Rose
Lilian
Isabella

Anything to add to this list?

I'm an Emma and have always loved my name! Only ever come across one other believe it or not, and I'm 33! Look no further, it's a fab name!

Well done for making a decision. Emma is lovely.

But if you change your mind, maybe Ella, Anna or Ava/Eva.

Scottishgirl that surprises me, I'm your age and my best friend is an Emma, but I can think of at least 4 others from our year at school and two more from my college class!
I love the name though. It's only that she might think it's about her that puts me off using it myself Grin

I like it and was also going to suggest Emmeline nn Emma

My cousin just had a little girl called Emmeline. They call her Emme for short.

Its good to go with your instincts!!
