New stats released by French newspaper Le Monde have revealed Emma has been the most popular baby name in France since 2004.
 
Emma, which is also the second most popular name in the US, began to grow in popularity in the South and quickly spread throughout the rest of the country.
 
The name currently ranks 29th in the UK and 6th in Ireland, but we may soon be overrun with Emmas if the trend continues.
 
Le Monde also published these fun graphs, charting baby name trends over France between 1946 and 2011 - prepare to be hypnotised.
