Thoughts on Emma?

[Smillar2020]

Is it boring or old fashioned?

It's my absolute favourite name, short, neat, timeless, classic and in constant use since medieval times so has lots of history to it. I just love it. I had boys so didn't get to use it.

I like it. I can see why some people think it's a bit boring but it is very pretty. Like Anna, it hasn't got enough ''omg, that's original'' about it for some people but it is beautiful.

Personally I find it boring but if you love it, go for it.

Fabulous

Not for me personally. But I always remember this little girl a few years back she was 3 then called Emma and she was the sweetest little thing. So cheeky and she never stopped talking!

I love it. Timeless name. My friends dd is called Emma

Bland and boring.

Classic

It travels really well! It’s the kind of name most Western cultures recognise and find easy to pronounce, even if it’s not a popular name in the country in question.

It is a sound combination that seems to be easily pronounced everywhere and never have to spell for people. Would avoid Jane as a middle name.

I think it's a bit blah. But then I was a 90's baby so there were always at least 3/4 Emily's in every class in my school, along with Kirsty, Hannah, Amber, Gemma, Katie, Paige etc

It’s classic.

I love Gemma as well. I don't know a single Gemma so it can't be that popular.

Beautiful and timeless

Classic and actually underused nowadays compared to Emilia, Amelia etc.

ADORE IT. I agree it's so underused in my opinion. The most classic girls name there is in my eyes

Kind of like Olivia, a wallpaper name. It's fine, just dull/uninteresting to me.

I think it's lovely. Not boring at all

Nice, but highly overused.

It’s a beautiful name , I have an Emma and she is one in a million

To all the ones that don’t like it and you have a daughter what are they called

I'm sure she is one in a million, still don't like the name. It's not singling out your child in any way.

I also don't see the need to get the hump and go asking about other people's children's names. That has no relevance to the thread. OP asked for opinions on one name, she's getting them.

As Emma is quite a popular name, it's very unlikely she's one in a million.

There's nothing wrong with it. But I'd say that it's had its day.

Well...I did also think that Nuff 😂

@NuffSaidSam @SionnachRua

Only gave my opinion on the name because it was asked for the fact you responded the way you did and didn’t give your girls names says it all really
