Which one is better: Emma Joy or Emma Grace?

We are narrowing our girl’s name down!

We are trying to figure out which sounds better for our daughter in a couple of months:

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] [name_m]Garfield[/name_m]

Or

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_m]Garfield[/name_m]

Or do neither go well?

I’ve seen so many [name_f]Emma[/name_f] Graces, the beauty is kind of lost for me now, though I do love both of those names! [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] [name_m]Garfield[/name_m] would be my choice… I think [name_f]Joy[/name_f] sounds better with [name_m]Garfield[/name_m] too!

Of those, I like [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]! [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] sounds lovely with the last name [name_m]Garfield[/name_m]. It’s a very sweet combination! Congratulations on your upcoming daughter :slight_smile:

I prefer [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] with [name_m]Garfield[/name_m]. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] [name_m]Garfield[/name_m] is lovely!

I prefer [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] sounds really pretty however [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is so ridiculously overused as a middle name. [name_f]Joy[/name_f] sounds better with [name_m]Garfield[/name_m] as well.

I think [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] flows better :slight_smile: I don’t think [name_f]Emma[/name_f] or [name_f]Grace[/name_f] will ever lose their beauty on me haha

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] [name_m]Garfield[/name_m]! I think that the double GG (plus the initials EGG) rule out [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] for me here, stunning as it is.

I much prefer [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] however I could probably name around 10 girls with [name_f]Grace[/name_f] as a mn off the top of my head.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] to shake things up a bit (ignore if you don’t want to) - what about considering some other names you liked in the first name spot for middle? [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] are such common middle names. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] next to something a bit more unique as a middle would be so great.

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is my favorite, but [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] sounds better with [name_m]Garfield[/name_m]. I’d still go with [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] though, because she could get married someday!

I love [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]! So bright and cheery! [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is just a bit overused as a middle, but [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is very pretty too.

I much prefer [name_f]Grace[/name_f] to [name_f]Joy[/name_f] ([name_f]Grace[/name_f] was my grandmother’s MN, though, so I’m incredibly biased!), but I like [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] as a combo much more than [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], which is very popular as a combo choice.

Plus, I like that [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] [name_m]Garfield[/name_m] wouldn’t get the initials EGG. :wink:

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]!!!

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]!!! So lovely.

(P.S. I’m glad you liked the suggestion!)

I love [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] [name_m]Garfield[/name_m]! I like that it’s short and sweet.

I do know a little girl named [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and she goes by [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], which is super sweet. But I think for your last name, I prefer the middle name [name_f]Joy[/name_f].

I really like [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], but it is a bit overused, so [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] would be my pick - it’s lovely :slight_smile: I also prefer [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] with [name_m]Garfield[/name_m].
