HelpRe: Emma
in reply to a message by Perrine
If there was a way of putting Emma in a bottle and selling it to the public, the bottom would fall right out of the market for sleeping tablets. I don't dislike Emma; nor do I find it either unattractive or cute. I just find it totally blah.
My favourite is Emily, hands down. The meaning just isn't an issue and hasn't been for millennia. Emily has a happy lilt and a dancing rhythm, and I'd use it tomorrow.
Emmy sounds like a nn for, say, Mary Ellen. I really don't find it exciting or interesting at all.
Emmeline? Trying to be posh and falling on its nose. The only point in its favour, and it's a huge one, is the AA Milne poem: Emmeline Has not been seen For more than a week ... and it goes on, with the adults admitting that they falsely accused her of having dirty hands. She then returns and reports that, when asked, the Queen said her hands were perfectly clean.
