Well, Emma has no intention on leaving until she has saved not only Hook but also Regina and Snow(/now David). So scratching out Emma's name would have had no effect, particularly since he would have had to replace it with someone else's, so then Emma would still stick around to try to save Robin Hood/Belle/Rumple/whoever Hook writes on the tombstone.
