[Opinions] Emma or Jane
Do you prefer Emma or Jane as a first name?Emma Jane or Jane Eleanor?Thanks!

I prefer the sound of Jane to Emma, but I'd choose Emma Jane as a combo. Jane is quite refreshing, even in the middle spot. Jane Eleanor is OK but I don't like the flow that much, and I'm not a fan of Eleanor.
Emma as a first name
Jane Eleanor as a combo.
It's interesting I've seen birth announcements for two Janes born this year, but it's still less popular than Emma.

Oh, Jane by a mile. It's so refreshing these days! Why not Jane Emma? That's cute as a button.
Jane > Emma
Jane Eleanor > Emma Jane I do not like Emma. Though Emily is okay :) Jane is nice and it sound very good with Eleanor.
Jane Eleanor!
Emma Jane all the way :)
Jane, hands down. Emma has been so very popular that it will soon disappear and it will be easy to guess the age of every Emma. Jane is timelessly elegant, unpretentious, friendly and fun. Jane Eleanor adds a touch of sophistication that is really lovely.
voting for Emma as it’s my name. Yes it is overused at this point but it has a rich & strong name history. I feel like it is a step up from “Jane” in terms of simplicity. Emma Jane flows better in my opinion as well.
Emma is prettier but way overused.
Emma but they’re both pretty dull names at this point/
I prefer Emma. It's sweeter. But I prefer the combo Jane Eleanor.
Jane! Jane Eleanor.
Emma as a name, but Jane Eleanor as a combo
Jane, definitely! Emma’s nice but stale.
I don't have any strong preferences between Jane and Emma. Out of the two combinations, I prefer Jane Eleanor, because I feel that the two names go better together.
