Emma

Though it first appeared on the scene as a nickname, the feminine name Emma has become an impressive and elegant full title. Deriving from the Germanic element irmin, Emma means "whole," "great," or "entire," making it a fitting choice for the little one who'll be the center of your world! For centuries, Emma was synonymous with royalty: Emma of Normandy was the wife of two English kings. Of course, the 1815 publishing of Jane Austen's fourth novel,Emma, introduced the world to a smart and savvy heroine who gave the name new significance.

Emma Thompson, Emma Stone, and Emma Watson are three big-screen stars who may just inspire your Emma to pursue their own ambitions. It's no surprise that Emma's elegant sound has captured the hearts of many in The Bump community, including user aeh72, who says, "I love it. I'd use it despite its popularity because I think it's timeless and beautiful." (Well said.)
