Haha, actually Emma is currently falling popularity. It’s been in the top 10 since 2002, and was number 1 in 2008. ( I believe that was when Emily was finally dethroned.) But it has since been dropping.

It’s interesting because you’ll often find TV shows will pick a name for their adult character that only recently gained popularity for babies and so it’s often anachronistic. (Dr. Addison Montgomery, anyone? 40 years ago people Addison wasn’t even in the top 1000 for girls. It was moderately popular for boys thought. 😉 ) I’ve met a baby Emma or two. In the year our Emma would have been born, the name ranked 399. Oh well, she was born in fairy tale land 😉 She’s fortunate she wasn’t named Blue Bird or something.
