|  |     Wasn't one of the little girls on "Kate and Allie" named Emma?  THAT'S
    what I think of!  (and both of the girls on that show were cute.)

| 796.2 | Emma is short for Emily | WR2FOR::BELINSKY_MA |  | Tue May 26 1992 14:48 | 6 | 
|  |     A friend's daughter is named Emily, and is often called Emma as a
    nickname.  Personally I love the name Emma, and don't think it's any
    older sounding than Emily.

    HOSPITAL.

| 796.4 | ANOTHER VOTE FOR EMMA | ESOA12::WOODARD |  | Mon Jun 01 1992 15:28 | 13 | 
|  |     Hi -
    
    My grandmother's name is Emma, but I personally have always loved the
    name and Emmy for short.  My husband on the other hand can't stand the
    name Emma because my grandmother can be such a little snot at times.
    
    I also think of Emma Samms (General Hospital), that's actually when I
    started to like the name.  Emily is becoming too popular right now,
    where as Emma isn't.
    
    I vote for Emma....not that my vote counts.

| 796.5 | It grows on you... | HYSTER::TENBROECK |  | Wed Jun 03 1992 14:23 | 10 |

    I'm due in August and have had the name Emily picked out for almost a
    year....but it's definitely becoming very popular.
    
    My mom suggested Emma as an alternative.  At first I didn't like it but
    the more I think of it, the more it grows on me.
    
    I just hope that Emma isn't going to get popular too!!

|  |     I was just off phone with a friend.  She is due in 2 weeks.  If
    it is a girl, they will name her Emily with Emma as nickname.
    I guess it is becoming popular.

| 796.7 | Literary Reference for Emma | WOOK::LEE | Wook... Like 'Book' with a 'W' | Fri Aug 14 1992 13:29 | 5 | 
|  | Emma is the main character in Jane Austen's book _Emma_.
That's what I think of.

| 796.8 | Emelie | RTOEU::KRICKS | There is no place like home.... | Mon Aug 17 1992 04:02 | 9 | 
|  |     I love the names Emily and Emma.  In the future when I have a little
    girl I will name her Emelie. 
    
    I think I first fell in love with the name was while reading Jane
    Austen's _Emma_. What a great love story. Also wasn't the main
    character in the book _A Woman of Substance_ also named Emma?

| 796.9 | what about... | KAOFS::M_BARNEY | Formerly Ms.Fett | Mon May 17 1993 15:09 | 9 | 
|  |     What about the actress Emma Thompson? (just won an Oscar for
    "Howard's End") - I'm a big fan of both her and her husband.
    
    as an aside: Emma, Emily (Emilie) also Emelia (Amelia)......
    
    I have cousins who's names are much like this: 
    Ella, Elli, Else (pronouced Elsa) and Emma as well....
