Emma

[mayandjuniper]

A classic, or still a bit too 90s?

I'm also an Emma, I feel that it is timeless, and I've never heard anyone say anything bad about the name which is a bonus!

I really like it and know a fab 3 year old Emma

It’s ok, but I went to school with so many Emmas it feels a bit bland to me. 90% of them seemed to be Emma Louise as well!

Lovely name.

@Firebird83 yes Louise was definitely the Rose/May of the 80s and 90s. I'm a 90s baby and had 3 Emmas in my year at school so although I loved it as a baby name when Rachel from Friends used it, I'd then changed my mind and thought it dated. But DP loves it and it's growing on me again.

I love it
Always been a favourite of mine

Very classic

Classic, beautiful name.

But yes, not Emma Louise! Perfectly nice, but it’s yesterday’s Olivia Grace.
Needs a more unusual second name.

It's very boring. Notat all keen I'm afraid.

Have a 7 year old Emma. Shes the only one in school apart from the headteacher. It suits her so well too.

Its common in Europe especially Scandinavia and Europe so travels well.

Some will find it boring and there is a great thread from 6 ish years ago about how boring it is.

I’m an Emma Louise born in the 90s 😂 never felt a strong love or hate for my name, it’s a little boring I suppose but definitely not a bad one though! I do occasionally get misheard over the phone as Anna but it’s a standard easy name otherwise.
I was 1 of 3 Emma’s in my year at school but not really heard of that many younger than me since.
If you like it then go for it ☺️

Nice name, but I don't like the Austen 'heroine' and that ruins it a bit for me.

Jane Austen's Emma is a bit of a dick, but she is meant to be and she does find her way in the end.

I loved Clueless as well .

Classic and easy to spell/pronounce.

Every Emma I know is lovely so go for it.

Of the 8 Emmas in my year at school, 7 of us were Emma Louise!

Ex teacher here, and I have never known a bad Emma!

My rescue dog is called Emma (Aka Em, Emmie, Ems, Emsie)
I know about 6 'human' Emma's, all mid 30s

Classic and I prefer it to Emily

Classic!

I love this name. It was on my list for DD but as its my friends name my dh thought it weird to name her that.
