Both are nice but a bit boring. If I had to chose I'd go for Sophie.

Love both, but Emma is my favourite name ever and I had boys so didn't get to use it.

Both fine depending on which surname they are going with. Emma Emerson, not good

xprincessxjanetx · 19/01/2023 01:09

Surname is 4 letters beginning with an "H"

Emma as Sophie is really overused.

Sophie

Emma (not at all biased!)
I know a billion small Sophie / Sophia's but no Emmas

Emma

Emma. I like both but there are lots of Sophias and Sofias.

Orangebadger · 19/01/2023 09:19

Either, I like both Emma and Sophie.

Emmamoo89 · 19/01/2023 09:20

Emma just because I'm called Emma😏 and its a lovely name. Not boring at all

DestinysGrandchild · 19/01/2023 09:20

Sophie

sunseaandme · 19/01/2023 09:21

IMO neither as they are both so so common and basic. However I know some people prefer more basic names ! Out of the 2 I think Sophie is nicer xx

@HelenaMountBattenCampBellFitzGerald , but which is it called? Emma or Sophie?

Outfor150 · 19/01/2023 13:12

Both are nice. I actually don’t know a single person, young or old, called Emma, so I’d hardly call it basic or common. I know a few Sophies, but they cross multiple generations. It’s a classic too.

urbanbuddha · 19/01/2023 13:21

Emma. But it’s tricky cos they’re both lovely names.

Emma. Sophie / Sophia is very popular. Emma isn't. And I prefer Em to Soph
