I am 25 weeks pregnant at the moment and starting to think a bit more about names. We do not know if we are having a boy or girl. Finding boys names a lot easier than girls names. Really liking the nn 'Millie' and more recently the nn 'Emmy'. Would like a more formal given name to take these nicknames from.
I have thought about possible names / spellings. Which do you prefer?

Emelia
Emilia
Emelie
Emily
Emmeline

Why don't you just call her Millie?

Do you think it is an issue that our surname is Fox?

Never heard of Emilia? Emilia Fox is an actress, on tv quite a bit. There's an Emilia in a Shakespeare play, although I can't remember which one........

Not Emelia or Emelie as they are modern made up names (or they are to me anyway).

A friend has a Camilla who has the nn Millie. Sometimes Amelia is abbreviated to Millie, too.

Personally I think Emily is your best bet. Emelia will be assumed as Amelia (which Milly is also short for) and Emelie would have to go through life spelling her name. Emmeline isn't bad, slightly different I think. Never even heard of Emilia. That would have to be spelt out all the time as well.

I love Millie... I know a Millie, she's 4 and utterly adorable. My preferred spelling is Emilia.

I have I say I really don't like Emmy.
