Three of JA's other books are given titles in relation to their themes or action: Sense and Sensibility, Prida and Prejudice and Persuasion. JA seems to have called this one "Emma" because she wanted to direct attention at her major character.What would you call "Emma" if not "Emma"?

But what would she have called it if she was wanting to follow the lead taken in two previously published books (S&S and P&P) and one that followed (P)?
Any thoughts?
