I think with situations like that, I would consider what the relationship is like with the other person in question. Are you very close friends? Do you barely see each other in person and talk only occasionally? Or are you only friends with them on social media?
I think if you barely interact with that person and the relationship with them was positive or somewhat positive, using the name you like should be fine.
If you're close to this person, see each other often and have a good relationship often, I would have an open and honest discussion with them and explain your feelings.
If there's a negative relationship or negative feelings, I wouldn't use it. It would just bring up bad memories.
Of course, these are just suggestions and it's up to you in the end. Do what feels best for you.
Otherwise, maybe you could use
Emma as a nickname for another name?
