Thoughts on Emma?

[Smillar2020]

Is it boring or old fashioned?

What, that we're not insecure enough to be riled about the opinions of strangers on the internet? I guess it does say that, yeah.

I have seen my own name and kids name slated on here before. I couldn't give a shite about it. An opinion on a name is not an opinion on me personally.

All I said was that Emma is a perfectly nice name.

Admittedly on the subject of 'my views on the name Emma', that does indeed 'say it all'.

I'm glad you appreciate my brevity.

@sionnachrua

I didn’t take the hump when I didn’t like your opinion like you I don’t give a shite what you think I merely asked your kids name if you didn’t like Emma
The fact you have got defensive about it and started a foul mouth rant says it all absolutely no need

Lovely name but always reminds me of friends and Rachel taking the baby name her best friend had had picked out for years.

It wouldn't put me off calling a child it but that's just always where my kind goes when I hear it

A foul mouthed rant 😂 Sure thing, pet. That's exactly what it is (and not standard posting style of many on MN). Gold star to you.

If you can't handle someone disliking a name or understand that judgement of a name doesn't = judgement of a person, I suggest you don't frequent name forums. It's fairly standard for people to not love everything.

Beautiful name

Nice in English but too common. In Greek it means 'blood'.

Gorgeous, classic name.

@Smillar2020 - I for one think it is a lovely and classic name. Not boring and not old fashioned - just classic. I think it would be a great name

It's perfectly inoffensive, and nobody will laugh at your kid or think her parents have no taste.. But it's really so boring.

I grew up with a million Emmas (like Claire, Sarah and Nicole). But whereas a little Sarah or Claire might be rather a refreshing change right now, "Emma" also kind of blurs into a whole bunch of names that are being used a lot at the moment--Ella, Eva, Emily, Emilia.

So, yes, it's boring whichever way you look at it.

Nothing "wrong" with it, though.

Its a lovely name, loved it 16yrs ago & still love it now. When mine was little she was Em, now she prefers Emma.

It always reminds me of the interchangeable Emmas in Terry Pratchett.

yawn

Emma is lovely. Short but sweet. I feel it suits every age. A baby Emma is adorable and chubby, toddler Emma is playful and lively, teenage Emma is cool and adult Emma is kind but classy.

Love it, if I'm having a girl I may use it.

Also like Rachel

Your name poses a dilemma, not much rhymes with Emma

I love it.

I think you can't beat timeless names like these!!

I like it. I grew up in the 80s and didn’t know any Emma’s. But knew lots of Sharon’s Debbie’s etc.

Simple name.

Doesn’t have any connotations to it. I see my sons friends are daisy, India etc Emma is not naff like that.

Love it.
