On Friends, Ross and Rachel’s baby was named Emma.
Rachel gives birth to Emma in “The One Where Rachel Has a Baby,” the two-part eighth-season finale. Emma is Ross Geller and Rachel Green’s daughter, although Ross and Rachel are not married when she is born. Their complicated romantic history is central to the storyline, and the birth intensifies questions about whether they will become a couple again.
The name also creates a memorable disagreement between Rachel and Monica. Monica had liked the name Emma for a future child, but she gives Rachel permission to use it after Rachel goes into labor. Ross and Rachel’s daughter is therefore commonly identified by her full name, Emma Geller-Greene, combining both parents’ surnames.
A frequent mix-up involves Emily, Ross’s former fiancée. Ross had once suggested Emily as a possible baby name, but that is not the name chosen for his and Rachel’s daughter. Emma was played as an infant by twins Noelle and Cali Sheldon, following the sitcom’s common practice of using twin performers for babies.
