Emma Rose sounds nicer, imo.. but if you want a less popular name, then Alexa is your winner. Surprisingly, I like Alexa much more than I thought I would, now that I'm saying it aloud. It's a surprise because I don't usually like those girls names: Alexis, Lexy, Alexandra, but Alexa has a different feel to it. Both get my thumbs up.
As a teacher so many names get "ruined" but I have had 2 Alexas & they have both been great kids so I like the name! I love Emma too, but my cousin just had a baby 2 weeks ago & named her that as well as a friend whose 2 year old is also Emma Rose. Very pretty, but also very popular.
Well, I like them both. But, if you are looking for another name, I really like the name Shyra Nicole. I think that name would go good with a hispanic last name and it is a unique name. Good luck on making your decision.
