Emma

A classic, or still a bit too 90s?

It's a classic AND a 90s nostalgia name. Can't lose x

I have one of them, she's 17

Classic, I know a 1 year old Emma, suits all ages, and not too popular in these days, great choice.

I like it. I also like Jemma / Gemma

I would say it's a classic, there were plenty of Emma's born in 60s/70s/80s and also in the past 20 years so I don't associate it with the 90s

Beautiful - makes me think of the Austen novel. And a very neutral name which could be from any walk of life.

It's my favourite. Love it.

Classic.

It's surprisingly popular in the USA at the moment - I think they missed the 'Emma' trend in the 80s.

Love it

I think of it as pretty classic rather than retro.

I’ve always love this name.

Classic (I don't get 90s vibes at all)but very safe and boring.

Classic to me

Definitely classic. Really nice name

Beautiful name - I love it

Of course it's classic, its history goes back to the Middle Ages.

It's my favourite name.

I am one.
I like my name, easy to spell, easy to shortern/nickname if that’s your thing. It’s never struck me as overly popular as I don’t often meet any other Emma’s and I come into contact with lots of small babies through work and I’ve not met many there either.

I love it

Emma Peel.
But then I’m biased when it comes to the name Emma........

I've got a teenage Emma. I still love the name and so does DD.

I have one, so am biased! I liked the Jane Austen connection and DH just liked the name. Also we liked that it probably wouldn't date and that it travels well.

I do hear it a bit more now than when she was a baby. She is 6. When she was born there were tonnes of Emilys and Amelias, but no Emmas in our acquaintance. I hear it sometimes now, but still don't think it's mega popular.

I'm an Emma. Born late 80s. There were 8 of us in my year at high school! But I quite like it as a name, it's simple and nobody ever has to ask how to spell it!

Classic. It was popular in the 70's, 80's and 90's, but not to the extent of say, Sarah. Emma or it's variants have likely been used in the UK since at least the 11th century and thanks to regular film/tv remakes of Austen's Emma many people will consider it a period classic (rather than a more dated one, even if they aren't aware of Emma's history).

I personally prefer the similar Anna but Emma is pretty, traditional, suits all ages and is simple to say and spell - a good choice imo.

A classic. Great associations - Emma Peel and Jane Austin etc and good international recognition.

I love it. I don’t think it’s 90s at all, and I know Emma’s of all different ages.
