First name for middle name Emma?

jadeviolet · October 2010

My grandmother recently passed and her name was Emma. It is way too popular to consider for a first name right now, but I am having trouble thinking of first names that flow well with it as a middle name.

Our last name starts with C and sounds like Sirvelly. I like classic sounding and biblical names. To give you an idea of my style some girl names I like are:

Anna

Rachel

Autumn

Daphne

Tess

Iris

Any suggestions are welcome! TIA

I'd say Rachel sounds best but im not crazy about any of them

Leah, Sarah, Elizabeth, Hannah, Hope, Rebecca, Grace, Miriam, Abigail, Bethany, Faith, Julia, Ruth, Lydia, Mary, Naomi, Esther, Susanna, Victoria, Tabitha, Katherine

From your list I love Rachel, Anna and Autumn in that order.

I don't think any of the names I like go well with Emma. Anything that ends in a vowel sounds weird to me, and the fact that Emma ends in a vowel makes the name sound unfinished.

Maybe I should look for a different family name
