[Opinions] Emma
I've really started to like the name Emma lately - which is odd, because I never liked it very much before. What's your opinion on Emma? And what do you think of:Emma Josephine
Emma Rosamund
Emma Violet

Emma is a perfectly respectable name. You can't go wrong with it, but it does nothing for me personally. I prefer Ella. I like Emma Josephine the best from your list.

I love it.Despite it being so popular, it's one of my favorite names. I probably would have used it for my own child - but my brother beat me to it.If you don't mind the popularity factor, I think Emma Rosamund is lovely.It's too bad the name became so popular!

Sorry, but I really can't stand Emma. Not only is it overused, but the sound of it is so bland and forgettable.

I used to like Emma, but nowadays I quite dislike it. It's began to annoy me because it's so popular and so uninteresting. NMS.

I would consider using Emma as a middle name, maybe, if I was married to a man with conservative tastes in names. It was the name of two women in my family, one on each side. :D I didn't know either one myself, but the Emma I know something about sounded like a wonderful lady. And so it'd make a decent compromise name in my situation--since it's a family name, I'd be willing to consider it despite its commonness.That said, I'm sick of Emma as a first name, and nothing's going to change that. The first and last combos flow nicely, but that doesn't do anything to make the first name any less annoyingly trendy.Array

Extremely popular.. I think you'd do much better in choosing any of the lovely middle names you have there.

I used to like it. Cooled off when it hit around top 50. Now I'm pretty darn sick of it and glad I didn't have a daughter 10 years ago. That would've been her name - Emmanuelle Jane nn Emma actually.

Sorry, but I absolutely cannot stand the name Emma. I don't even know where to start telling you all the things I don't like about it. The mumbly sound, the old-lady connotations, the current overpopularity, the one Emma about my own age that I knew who was big and fat and slow and had a huge mole on the side of her face...

DittoI agree with all of it (well, except for the personal connection), and so much more. I really loathe Emma!

I like Emma, mainly because of Emma Goldman who is a hero of mine. It is sweet and timeless, the only downside (and the reason I would never consider it) is that it is way too common.
Emma Rosamund and Emma Violet are both gorgeous combos.

I LOVE Emma. And, although I don't particularly care for any of your mns I would say that Emma Violet is my favorite of the ones you listed.
