Claire. Emma is pretty overused right now. And I love Claire.
"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind."

I'm on Claire due to the popularity issue as well. Plus, I've never been one for two-part names. Are you ready for the day when she tells you she just wants to be called Emma (or Claire)?
our DD#2 is named Claire and so I'm biased about preferring that as a 1st name; however, related to popularity, Claire is becoming much more popular than it used to be. Since having my Claire, I've heard of a lot of new Claire's being born (on the boards and IRL).
Both are a little too old fashioned for my taste, but out of the two I think Claire is pretty -- Emma I believe is in the top 5 girls names and VERY common now.

They are both beautiful! We are thinking about using Claire in our little one's name as well if it is a girl. I pick Emma Claire!

Re: Which girl name do you prefer?
ditto
Emma Claire!
I also picked Claire for the middle name:)
Emma Claire!
My niece's name is Emma Kate and she refuses to be called Emma! It's either Emma Kate or Katie.
