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.
