Rose Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I ask that, because I personally LOVE the name EMMA, it may be a silly question and I only ask just for fun.. And with Emma Watson in mind it would be kinda cool. Hope I posted this in the right section. Edited February 6, 2011 by Rose Link to post Share on other sites
Maestro Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I think that Emma is a very lovely name. Even before I knew the Emma where based the forum name on. Link to post Share on other sites
ckravitz Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I do like the name Emma, but I also like the names Alice and Madison. I would have to think about it... Link to post Share on other sites
Monkey Cartwheels Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 If it was a girl maybe. I would try to avoid calling my boy Emma.That might cause some bullying. Link to post Share on other sites
trixie Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 No, I wouldn't. Its pretty but too common. There are three 'Emmas' In my son's class. Link to post Share on other sites
flying kiwi Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 No, I wouldn't. Its pretty but too common. There are three 'Emmas' In my son's class. this is the same reason that would put me off, although saying that-I'm not sure how many babies are being called Emma at the moment, people seem to be opting for different names at the moment. But I would still be put off as I see it as a common name myself. Link to post Share on other sites
KS987 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) I think Emma would be a great name for my daughter if I had one. Unless I somehow managed to overcome the odds and marry Emma Watson. Then I would have to pick something different Edited February 7, 2011 by KS987 Link to post Share on other sites
Jo. Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have actually always liked the name Emma, but couldn't ever call my child Emma now.... how could i ever live that down? lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Antares Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Only if it's a girl. Possibly not even then. While I think "Emma Watson" is a beautiful name, "Emma" sounds rather old-fashioned to my ears. That may be a German thing, though, it sounds much more appealing in an English context.

Mrs Duck Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 When I first became a fan (at age 11,5) I started loving the name Emma. But having grown up I don't really care for the name anymore, it's a sweet name and I'll always associate it with Watson (even though I've had friends named Emma). So no way I'd ever name my baby Emma. There's so many other gorgeous names out there! Link to post Share on other sites
honeytinkle Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 No it's way to common. I prefer names that's not so popular. Link to post Share on other sites

Same in Dutch...but that's because of the Queen's greatgreatgrandmother who also was queen. Then again...I rather prefer English names...as I think that most Dutch names are pretty ugly.

HermioneP. Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Only if it's a girl. Possibly not even then. While I think "Emma Watson" is a beautiful name, "Emma" sounds rather old-fashioned to my ears. That may be a German thing, though, it sounds much more appealing in an English context. True. I like the name, but in Germany it's mostly associated with elderly ladies. And thinking of the phrase "Tante Emma Laden" it might cause some bullying (you could translate that with "Aunt Emma Shop", and it's a common description for really small, dusty shops run by elderly women where you can buy groceries, sweets and papers - most of them have closed down in the past ten years, though, because said women became to old to run the business and with all those modern supermarkets it wasn't profitable to continue them, so that description might not be common among small children nowadays, I'm not sure).I've heard that the name is getting more popular with every year, so the image might change.

Danielle Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I've always liked the name Emma, Louise has always been one of my top choices though, I also like Charlotte and Daisy. I just hope I don't have a son because they are stuck with Rory and Ricardo! (Stoke players ) Link to post Share on other sites
cbmac12 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have wanted the name Emma Catherine for a long time...love the name Maybe someday that will be my daughter's name But yeah love the name Emma-like on Friends-poor Monica LOL Rachel took it Link to post Share on other sites
vida Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Emma is a very beautiful name. I love it and would definitely consider it. And you are right, cbmac, Rachel totally took it. Poor Monica!But, as she said, she loved Rachel more than the name so everything was cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy Wemmy Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I won't, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Maybe, love the name Link to post Share on other sites
Bright_Star Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Not to insult anyone, but actually, I'm not that fond of the name Emma...I think it's beautiful for a British girl, but not for a Dutch one...don't know, it just doesn't sound right in Dutch. Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy Wemmy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) I don't understand why some people say this name doesn't sound good in Dutch, I mean, does it have a difference of pronounciation in English and in Dutch? Edited February 19, 2011 by Emm@ Link to post Share on other sites
flying kiwi Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I've always liked the name Emma, Louise has always been one of my top choices though, I also like Charlotte and Daisy. I just hope I don't have a son because they are stuck with Rory and Ricardo! (Stoke players ) I'm stuck if I have another boy, we can't decide on what we'd call him (not that there will be any babies in the next few years lol) but my boyfriend would like to call him Patric Pete or vice versa, he also has an obsession with fall out boy... I personally like Dexter and yes I did get it from the serial killer. Rory is a nice name though. I still see Emma as a really plain name though, we had hundreds of Emma's at school. I think it'd be more interesting seeing how many people would name a girl Hermione Link to post Share on other sites
