I don’t think Emma is that bad, to be honest to with you. It’s a classic, noble name with some history. The sound is cute and I can see why people like it but it is WAY too popular. After it’s done with its time in the limelight it needs a long rest.
I used to really love this name decades ago when it seemed like a sweet British antique. Names like Isabella and Lucy and Amelia used to have this wonderful quaint quality, you never saw them on real people (at least, I didn't). I still think it's warm and cute and homey, but it doesn't have the same poetry it once did, which is a shame. I do like that it's quite an ancient name with a lot of history, and I like the literary connections it has.
I like Emma in the middle, mostly. If input it out front I might lean on those historical and literary elements that I like:
Emma Maude
Emma Alice (Alice Emma is better though)
Emma Virginia
Emma Juliet
Emma Victoria
Emma Guinevere
Emma does have a lot of calm "blandness" to it and I might use that to it's advantage and make a longer combo of other "bland" names that I genuinely like:
Emma Grace Louise
Emma Marianne, Emma Mary Anne
Emma Jeanne Charlotte
Emma Jane Christina
Emma Frances Eleanor

I have never understood the appeal of Emma.
It's a pretty name but like Sophie it's just so popular. I like it in the context of the Regency, though.

It's alright but it's pretty.
Emma is a classic, but I believe it could be ranked #1 in America so it's just too common. You would have to combine it with something strong or different for it to be taken seriously or stand out. Classic combo: Emma Jane, Emma Rose, strong: Emma-Victoria, Emma-Gabrielle, Emma-Nicole even.
ugly ugly ugly ...
I have never liked this name and have never understood why it was so popular a hundred years ago and why it ever came back and became popular again. It's a mouth full of mush.
