[Opinions] Re: Emma
in reply to a message by ABby
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
