Yes...Emma's one name you hear in Whole Foods when the posh young
parents seem to be broadcasting their children's well-chosen names
more to impress other shoppers than to communicate with their
children: "Emma, Emma, they've got a lovely gooseberry-cinnamon
yoghurt here. Would you like some gooseberry-cinnamon yoghurt, Emma?
Conrad, don't push Portia so fast in her stroller, or I won't make the
timpano for dinner tonight. Emma, look: asparagus water!"

Makes me want to have a son and name him Ashurbanipal, sure to win the
Whole Foods name derby. :)
