What do you think (as a full name, not a nn or short for anything else)?

Emmeline?

I quite like Emmie OP, but agree with others she will continually be asked whether she is Emma or Emily

Agree on your DD having a lifetime of having to spell her name constantly but then I have a pretty standard issue name for the decade I was born and I still have to constantly spell it.

That seems to be the same reaction I’m getting IRL too. I love Emily but I know a few not-too-nice Emily’s ☹️

I know one young girl called Emme and that is her proper name and not a nickname. I think that it is pretty but because it is unusual, you would get a lifetime of people thinking that you are called Emma or Emily.

Sorry Frenchie bit I’m not a huge fan of shortened names, or pet names, as the full name but then it’s not my baby Smile

Emma and Emily are both lovely names. I'd go for one of those and then shorten it as you like.
