Have always loved Em as a nickname but not a massive fan of Emily/Emma. Does anyone have any suggestions?Smile

Word of caution with emilia, I know one and she's been nicknamed by friends as Milly or Milmils

@SuddenBeetE

Funny, my great grandmother was also Evelyn and we always called her Little Em (she wanted to be Emma, apparently)!!! Lived to 101, she was a firecracker! Refused to be ‘Granny’ or ‘Nanna’ or any pet name...!! 😂

Oh shitt sorry I missed the part where you didn't Emily. I wasn't much out there at all!😁

Emerald's fabulous.

Onesailwait · 07/07/2019 01:53

I have an Emily, we call her Em or Emmy. Only Emily when she's in trouble!. It's a really lovely nickname

Elizabeth Mary
Ella May.

I'd look for any E name and any M middle name. Gives you lots of scope.

My dd has a name beginning with M and I call her Em or Ems

Ermintrude

Ellmau · 06/07/2019 10:43

Emmot is an old petname of Emma

Emmylou

Or you could go with Emme - pronounced just like Em. Downside, everyone will thinks she's an Emma and you/she will be correcting people all the time.
