Emilia or Caitlin?
Our surname begins with a hard C and also has a double LL in it and we can't decide if we like the double C beginning or not. Plus I'm scared that Caitlin would get shortened to Cate or Catie, whereas I wouldn't mind Emilia being shortened to Em.
We had been set on Caitlin until this morning and now we're all confused again!!!

I prefer Emilia.

I think with you last name I would go with Emilia. I like Caitlin just as much but not with your last name. I thin you'll find Emilia gets shortened to Emmy.

Milly, Em, Emmie, Lia, no shortage of NNs on that one.
And lord knows you'll end up with people frequently thinking you said Amelia or Emily.
Don't use any name if you dislike the obvious nns.

I dislike Caitlin with a c prefer it with a K

But prefer emilia to both

Emilia is a very pretty name, and very smart too! Whereas Caitlin is quite hard. But it's totally up to you of course!! ?? Comgrats by the way, are you due soon or have you got a while to make up your minds?

Emelia

She may get Melie or Millie which you might want to consider.

Emilia

HolidayCriminal · 22/03/2014 19:38

Caitlin. Really don't like the other (sorry),

LizLemonOut · 22/03/2014 19:38

Caitlin would definitely get shortened I think so if you don't like the NNs then maybe not that one. I personally prefer Emilia
