Emma?
I know that a lot of people think that this name is very popular, and it probably is, but I've lived in three towns and only ever met one Emma. I love this name for its simplicity. What are your opinions? What middle name would you use? TIA! :)

but my god it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
wanna hold him, maybe i'll just sing about it

I like Emma if short for Emmaline. If not, then I prefer Gemma (but also quite popular).
Anyway...

I really dislike this name. It just looks seems sort of nondescript and boring. The double m also throws me off, for some reason. If one must use this name, I much prefer Emmaline or something similar.
Emma is a name I never thought I would like until recently, but it's perfect simplicity and charm makes it a beautiful choice. I have moved 15 times, within two countries and six states, and have only met one Emma it surprises me it is not used more often; and of course I love the Jane Austen character!

Emma is my grandaughter's name, her middle name is Jean.
I used to love the name Emma, but after I realized how popular it was getting, I changed my mind. I also have a bad association with an Emma, so that's probably what did it. I do have good associations with people named Emma too. So I guess that one person named Emma and the popularity ruined it for me. It's still nice though, but I much prefer Emily (even though Emily is really popular).
its ok, I prefer Emily though.

Even putting Emma's overuse aside, the sound is just so bland! I find it boring in every way, sorry.
I think it needs a vibrant, interesting middle name to counteract that:
Emma Katerina
Emma Cambria
Emma Lenore
Emma Serenity
Emma Juliette
Emma Saskia
Emma Henriette
Emma Rosaline
Emma Delaney

I also love the name Emma and for a while I seriously considered using it! I also haven't met many Emmas yet they must be everywhere is the Top 100 names for many English speaking countries are any judge!
Emma is cute, sweet, pretty, and easy to spell! :)
I really liked Emma Jane for a long time but then it changed to Emma Joy and now it's Emma Joyce! :)
I really like J names with Emma but Ms are also a good choice.
What about:
Emma Jade
Emma Juliet
Emma Josephine
Emma June
Emma Joy
Emma Jane
Emma Joyce
Emma Joan
Emma Jean
Emma Margaret
Emma Mary
Emma Madeline
Emma Maeve
Emma May
Emma Molly
Emma Rose

I like it, but the fact that you've only met one does not change the fact that it is the 2nd most popular baby name in the U.S. Most Emmas are in kindergarden, or are even younger, and I'm guessing you don't have much contact with those children.

I love the name Emma... but in the town where I live.. I can think of at least 6 Emma's all varying in ages.. Emma is a name that is cute on a child and beautiful as she grows.. I guess it all depends on where you live and whether or not popularity bothers you!
