Oh... Lillian and Grace are two of my all-time favorite names!!!
Emma Claire is nice too, but... I just associate it as a fat name. Sorry, but there is the line in the movie "The Breakfast Club" where he says, "Claire is a fat girl's name". And I have known many a fat Emily... not Emma, but I have the connotation nonetheless.
I think Lillian Grace is more unusual, and Emma has become an overly common name since it was the name of Ross and Rachel's child on the TV show Friends. That is my opinion anyway.

I like the name Emma but not in combination with Claire. I love the name Lilian Grace though! I have a co-worker whos sister is planning to name her daughter Coffee so I think you are in way better shape than her. Anyway, comparisons aside...I still truly love the second option. It is very beautiful.

I think Emma sounds very old country like, you know like you would name someone with a castle :), but it's very pretty and very classy. On the other hand Lilian is more of today's names, i mean it's still a beautiful combination, but it fits today better. I just think going through school she will have less harassment with a name like Lilian Grace. They are both very pretty. It's just my little opinion. Congrats on the baby.

There have been waaaaay too many babies named Emma ever since Friends. I think Lilian Grace is a beautiful name and much more original. Lillianna would also be very pretty with Grace. Congratulations!!

I like Lilian Grace better. But I think that Emily Abigail is a beautiful name if you like Emma.

To be completely honest, I think Lilian Claire is beautiful... although if it's between those two, Emma Claire would have to be my choice.

Eamon... 10/10. This is the most kick **** name anyone could give a son. Seriously. I love celtic/gaelic names. Edward/Emerson/Emery... 4/10. Too many people use these. They're fine names. But, I personally wouldn't use them. Ewan... 8/10. Awesome name!! Ezra/Fletcher... 5/10. Eh. Once again, I see these name around often. Not too keen on them. Flynn/Hamish... 9/10. F*ckin A. Yes! More celtic/gaelic names!!! Harvey/Hayden... 4/10. Bleh. Lol. Henry/Hugh!!! 10/10. Yay! Nifty names. James/Jude... 7/10. Rad. Like Jude a little more than James, though. If I were you... I'd keep Eamon, Ewan, Hamish, Flynn, Henry and Hugh. Love those. Hope I helped! =)

I personally like Lillian Grace better b/c it sounds better when I speak it out loud. For some reason, Emma Claire just doesn't "flow" as nice, although it's not a terrible name or anything.

Emma Claire sounds very pretty. I like it. How does it sound with your last name? See how the full name goes with it, and also just Emma. You don't want it to sound awkward. I like Lillian Grace, too. If you can't decide just wait till she's born and see what name she looks like more.

I like Lillian Grace better than Emma Claire, but they are both cute.
