Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"An" is put before the pronoun of the name "Emma" here to show that she fits a type or a group of people who all have the name Emma. Ex: A: Should we name her Katie? B: No, she doesn't look like a Katie. I think she looks like an Aubrey. Ex: A: What do you think my name is? B: You seem like a Sam.
