Which name for a girl?

[xprincessxjanetx]

Emma or Sophie?

They’re both really popular, as are the similar Sophia and Emily. If that doesn’t bother you, pick either. Personally prefer Sophie, Emma sounds like an irritating sound

Doesn't sound irritating at all. What a silly thing to say

Love both so I'm no help 😂

Emma sounds like an irritating sound
I think it sounds pleasant and assertive.

@Emmamoo89 you are entitled to your opinion as am I. To me it’s like an irritating, dull hum sound, can’t understand why people like it. That is my own opinion, obviously loads of people like it as it’s incredibly popular.

Both are nice, but I like Emma best.

Both lovely classic names. I'd choose Sophie as you say your surname is 4 letters, that's a bit matchy with 4-letter Emma.

Depending on where you are and the surname, the H may get dropped and Emma Hunt might sound like Emmuh Runt.

It's a really strange opinion to have on it. Yes it is very popular as it should be

Emma 😊

I’d wait till she arrives, I was going to call my second DD Sophie with a back up of Joanna. When she arrived she just didn’t look like a Sophie, it didn’t suit her, but Joanna fitted her perfectly.

Love them both but I like Sophie mor.

Emma is kinda boring.

I know an Emmalyse. She was always Emmalyse, too, not Emma.

Otherwise I prefer Sophie.

Emma Sophie Lucy Amy Charlotter - all so similar. I like Sophia / Sofia

Neither, they are both boring and overused IMO.

Emma…

As long as your surname isn’t Royd………

Sophie is lovely, I don't know anyone called that but I am related to an Emma in her forties and another in her fifties.

Emma

Sophie is lovely!

I’d go for Sophie,

my shortlist for dd was Sophie, Emily Erin and Zoe.

though I do like Emma.

Emma works a bit better with a H surname than Sophie. The "F" sound of Sophie merging with the "H" of a surname feels slightly uneasy. Then again, names ending with "A" can also be tricky but it depends on the consonant before the "A" and the one after the "H" as to whether it works altogether.

Emily would be nice with a H surname.

Emma I like Emma-jo or Emma-Jayne
Not very popular these days but are nice in my opinion.

Sophie. Much prefer it to Sophia, which seems to be everywhere these days...

Emma.

There are so many Sophie's and Sophias, plus it's a much more solid name, Soph is very wet sounding

Prefer Emma but both are lovely IMO
