  • Comment left Aug 19, 2008: "My name is Emma and I think it's very pretty. It seems graceful. I was born in 97, but this says it was not as popular then. I hate it when people call me Emily, it just annoys the heck out of me. I get a lot of compliments of my name and I love it!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 11, 2008: "My name is Emma. I like it. short and simple. I have a best friend with the name Emma, but all these little girls with the name Emma are driving me crazy!! lol I Don't mind Em. only from close family or friends tho!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 08, 2008: "My name is Emma Jo. I was named after my great grandma. My family is german. I thought it was a german name- guess not. I don't like that it has become such a popular name in this time. But I still never hear my name being called out. I'm 23 and have only met a few people with my name, and they aren't close aquaintences. My mom wanted to name me Ella and my dad wanted to name me Wednesday- I like them both, but am happy with Emma. Nobody calls me by anything different, no shorter versions of my name. A lot of people ask what Emma is short for though." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 06, 2008: "i like my name, but it doesnt really get shortened to anything like Em or Ems. :)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 05, 2008: "I'm not very fond of my name. It lends itself to being shortened and cutsied--strangers call me Emmie or Em. It's not especially pretty, it just...is." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 05, 2008: "I love the name Emma. I am going to name my child Emma with Lee as the middle name after my idol Emma Bunton (Baby Spice of the Spice Girls). 2 of my close friends are named Emma." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 03, 2008: "My name is emma and i kinda like it, cuz i have had since birth. My parents werent gonna call me emma though, they were gonna call me charlotte but im really small so they decided to call me emma coz it was a shorter name. I guess i like it but none of my friends really have an opinion on it! it nver gets shortened though to like Em or Emz which i might like but im fine with emma!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 19, 2008: "i like my name simply because it makes me who i am could not picture myself with any other name. Its a part of my mum that will always stay with me as she chose that name when she was thinking of me." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 18, 2008: "my mom named me emma because she wanted me to have a unique, different name that no one else had. it's pretty ironic because right after i was born, emma became one of the most popular names in the country! & i don't really like the name that much." (Report as inappropriate)

And I never would want to change it." (Report as inappropriate)
